Gordon, C.B., at Kartoum" by Charles George Gordon is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work details the journals of General Gordon during his time in Kartoum, shedding light on the challenging conditions in Sudan and his efforts to navigate the complex political and military landscape of the region. At the start of the book, the author presents Gordon's initial observations and experiences following his appointment as Governor-General of the Sudan. The opening chapters describe his reflections on the dire circumstances faced by the local population, the oppressive regime in place, and his commitment to assisting the Soudanese people while opposing the slave trade. Gordon expresses a blend of hope and concern as he documents the precarious situation around Kartoum, emphasizing both his sense of duty and the moral complexities of his mission amidst rising tensions and rebellion from groups like the Mahdi. The tone suggests a deep introspection as he grapples with the responsibilities thrust upon him and the challenges of implementing meaningful reform.
