Illustrated throughout with contemporary engravings, photographs
and maps, this highly readable eye-witness account was written by
Frank Power, a British journalist and latterly Consul, who was
trapped in the Siege of Khartoum. This book of his personal letters
was published posthumously by his family, before the death of
General Gordon, when there was still some chance of relief. They
are full of hope and optimism, and contain vivid descriptions of
daily life in Khartoum, but also focus on the stark realities of
life in a siege situation, the frustration of entrapment and of
waiting for relief which never came, and the ever present threat of
attack by the Mahdi army.
