The Sudan Campaigns In the Sudan in 1881 an obscure son of a carpenter pronounced himself the "Mahdi" or "Guided One of the Prophet", the long-expected Messiah of the Islamic faith. His influence was so strong that Egypt (co-ruled by Britain and France) was plunged into war. Robert Wilkinson-Latham provides an absorbing account of the Sudan campaigns, including the siege of Khartoum.
