Another fantastic read from this author. I was engrossed from start to finish. Seeing the German perspective of WW2 made an interesting change of view. Strongly recommended.

“Will they stand sir?”
“Stand? I’ll have trouble stopping them charging. These men are the 9th Sudanese battalion, all from the South Sudan and the Nuba Hills. Bloody fine soldiers with just a little discipline imposed by their officers. You’ll see and so will the Dervishes.”
Nigel Seed, No Road to Khartoum

“McGuire started to rub the soap across himself, amazed at the change in his own skin colour as the filth of years of poverty floated off him.”
Nigel Seed, No Road to Khartoum

“The troops arrived at the wall together and swept into the village, some through the gates and some through the holes blasted by the artillery. Then the slaughter began as they went from hut to hut, winkling out the defenders at bayonet point. The screaming showed the progress of the individual battles across the village until at last it was quiet.”
Nigel Seed, No Road to Khartoum
