Revised edition hard back binding in publisher's original burgundy cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back. 8vo. 7½'' x 5¼''. The narrative is based on the experiences of Father Joseph Ohrwalder, who was captured during the Mahdist uprising in Sudan and offers a personal perspective on the conflict. The book delves into themes of survival, faith, and the brutal realities of life under the Mahdi's rule, conveying the struggles faced by religious missionaries during this tumultuous period. At the start of the narrative, Father Ohrwalder recounts his hopeful journey to Sudan with fellow missionaries, only to be swiftly engulfed in the upheaval that follows the Mahdi's rise to power. As tensions escalate, he and his companions experience the heart wrenching betrayal and violence that accompany the Mahdist revolution. The opening portion highlights the idyllic beginnings of their mission work and contrasts it with the dark foreboding of impending disaster, ultimately setting the stage for Ohrwalder's harrowing tale of captivity and resilience amidst the chaos of war.
