It is an exceptional piece of research, detailing the political environment, battles, and particularly garments and armor; it is also very well illustrated. Available at www.perry-miniatures.com

Thanks for the recommendation. The book looks interesting, is it mainly focused on the British forces, equipment and dress, or is it equally slanted towards the Mahdist forces. My interest would primarily be in any historical photos of Madhist foot and cavalry and associated dress and equipment.
