Read the reviews
‘Green’s riveting historical narrative of the first clash between Islam, Arab nationalism and European interference in the modern era is a stark reminder of the conflicts predating the current Mideast crisis… a formidable achievement.’
(Entertainment Weekly pick of the week)
‘An erudite, ironic, and supremely entertaining account of European, African, and Arab attempts to control the Nile, and a brilliant evocation of the tension between imperial ambition and domestic politics.’
(Boston Globe)
‘Green’s panoramic narrative re-creates these three decades with remarkable dynamism, applying a flair for pithy characterization to the political and religious players involved… a vividly popular account.’
(Booklist starred review)
‘A formidable work of popular narrative history, describing the tumultuous events that took place in northeastern Africa in the final third of the nineteenth century.’
(Publishers’ Weekly starred review)
‘Richly descriptive language and dramatic pacing… A vivid history presented in a style that has more in common with epic movies than with most historical texts.’
(Kirkus Reviews)
‘A historical feast… a writing style others can only dream of…an engrossing read.’
