Sudan's modern history has been consumed by revolution and civil
war. The country attracted international attention in the 1990s as
a breeding ground of Islamist terrorism and recently tensions
between the prosperous centre and the periphery, between north and
south, have exploded in Darfur. In his latest book, Robert Collins,
a frequent visitor and veteran scholar of the region, traces
Sudan's history across two hundred years to show how many of the
tragedies of today have been planted in its past. The story begins
with the conquest of Muhammad 'Ali in 1821, and moves through the
Anglo-Egyptian condominium to independence in 1956. It then focuses
on Sudanese rule in the post-independence years when the fragile
democracy established by the British collapsed under sectarian
strife. It is these religious and ethnic divides, the author
contends, in conjunction with failed leadership, which have
prolonged and sustained the conflict in Sudan.
