Gordon | Martyr and Saint

$15.00

Author - Anthony Nutting

Year published - 1967

Published by - Reprint Society Of London

Book Format - Hard Cover

Genre - British Colonial Wars

Summary

This is a biography of one of the most colorful soldiers who ever lived. “Chinese Gordon” known later as “Gordon of Khartoum” died a martyr’s death during the siege of Khartoum in the Sudan in 1885. To Victorian England he was the model of a soldier saint and Christian martyr. To the idol smashing historians of the 1920’s, he was a drunken charlatan; but to Anthony Nutting both of these images were caricatures needing reinterpretation. For in his view Gordon was a very complicated and unusually interesting man.

Notes - Some discoloration on dust jacket
