"Fire and Sword in the Sudan" by Freiherr von Rudolf Carl Slatin is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative details Slatin's personal experiences during his time in the Sudan, particularly focusing on his interactions with the Mahdists and serving the Dervishes during a tumultuous period of conflict and upheaval. The book provides insight into the political and social complexities of the Sudan as well as the implications of the Mahdist revolt against the Egyptian administration. At the start of the work, the author introduces his journey back to Sudan after several years, motivated by a desire to serve under General Gordon. Following his arrival in Khartum, Slatin discusses the widespread corruption that plagued the administration and how this corruption contributed to tensions among the local Arab populations. He reflects on his subsequent appointment as Mudir of Dara, detailing the growing unrest and the dynamics of local power struggles while introducing key figures such as Gordon and Suleiman Zubeir. This opening segment sets the foundation for Slatin's in-depth exploration of the conflicts that would soon engulf the region, showcasing his commitment to provide a faithful account of his experiences amidst the chaos.
