Genesis of Jihadism?: Winston Churchill- Crusade against the Empire of the Mahdi

The publication, which runs to almost 450 pages, is perfectly timed; the West has only recently rediscovered the Sudan War and, with it, Churchill's pertinent contribution. And as has been already the case with some of the other translations of the book, published originally in 1899 under the title "The River War A Historical Account of the Reconquest of the Sudan", a rather sensationalist title has been adopted for the German version also: "Kreuzzug gegen das Reich des Mahdi" (Crusade Against the Empire of the Mahdi).
