History books relate that Wolseley's great Nile Expedition came within two days of relieving Khartoum. Mike Snook eschews casual acceptance of Wolseley's version of events. He subjects the feasibility of the expedition to scrutiny, and exposes critical failings in both Wolseley's plan and its execution.
