About This Novel
"The Battle of the River" is a very famous book written by the former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill when he was young. It is about the historical content of the war between Britain and Sudan. In other words, it is a first-hand historical account of the British reconquest of Sudan that Mr. Churchill personally experienced. The conquest took place in 1899. Mr. Winston Churchill documented his experiences as a British officer during the Mahdi War in Sudan, which lasted nearly 20 years. The so-called "Mahdi War in Sudan" refers to the armed struggle launched by the rebel army led by Khalifa Abdullah Mohammed against the British army led by Lord Kitchener in order to oppose British colonial rule. "Mahdi", who claimed to be the successor of Mahdi Muhammad Ahmed, was forced to launch this resistance war because he was dissatisfied with the heavy oppression by the British colonial authorities, the Egyptian feudal dynasty and the Sudanese feudal lords.
