+SOUDAN CAMPAIGN, HISTORY of the.+ By Col. H. E. COLVILLE, C.B.,
Grenadier Guards. Compiled in the Intelligence Division of the War
Office. In two parts, with case of Maps. Part I. contains the
Events leading up to the Nile Expedition, and its History to the
Departure of the Desert Column from Korti. Part II., from the
Departure of the Desert Column to the conclusion of the Campaign.
“Whatever may be thought of general history, there is no doubt that
military history is written with a definite object. The soldier
studies a past campaign in order the better to be able to conduct a
future one.... For the soldier Colonel Colville’s book is a mine of
valuable information. Its military lessons are summoned up in one
word—transport. From Cairo to Khartoum is 1000 miles in a straight
line, and 1400 miles by the Nile. The country affords no supplies. The
problem, therefore, was to move a small army to within a practicable
distance of Khartoum in such a way that it may be fed during its
advance, and when at its destination may still have stores to last for
some time. The official history shows how this problem was solved, and
how infinitely difficult it was. The British army never came out more
brilliantly from any trial than from this contest with the
wilderness.”—_Manchester Guardian._
