A Word Of Warning Books on this interesting character are not plentiful, therefore it was a must for my library. How reliable are the facts provided? Jeffery gives the impression that Kitchener was victor over the Mahdi in 1898. Elsewhere I am led to believe the Mahdi died soon after Gordon. Did anyone proof read this book? After all it is University of Toronto Press!
