About A Cool, Equable Judgement: The Sudan Journal Of
Lt.-Col. Hamill-Stewart was selected as aide-de-camp to General Gordon for his difficult but strategically vital mission to Sudan in January 1884. Within hours of his appointment, Stewart was travelling from London to Khartoum, where he would play an important role in the defence of the town against the Mahdi. Stewart met his death in September 1884, along with almost all the remaining European inhabitants of Khartoum, as he sailed north to appeal to British officials for help. During his time in Sudan, he kept a detailed journal containing fascinating insights into the developing crisis. This volume presents surviving parts of the journal, together with private letters and notes that add much colour. Edited with an introduction by Dr Fergus Nicoll, author of The Mahdi of Sudan.
