The book "Sword and Fire in Sudan" reveals the secrets of one of the most turbulent periods in modern Sudanese history, as told by Sultan Pasha, an Austrian officer who served in the Egyptian army and was appointed governor of Darfur by Gordon Pasha. Sultan lived through sixteen eventful years, most of which he spent as a prisoner of the Mahdist regime and later as its employee, before cleverly escaping and returning as the conqueror of Egypt's southern gateway. The book provides firsthand testimony to the Mahdist Revolution and its rise, as well as to the geographic, political, and social landscape of Sudan during that era. It also reveals the strategic importance of this region and its influence in Africa and the Middle East. The book caused a sensation in Europe upon its publication, even contributing to the colonial powers' decision to re-invade Sudan after their initial failure. Combining military memoirs with historical documents, it places the reader at the heart of the atmosphere of raised swords and raging fires that shaped this fateful era.
