Recenzje

'… Remarkable book… It's an illuminating study that explores Sudan's rather unique place in the history of imperialism … In moving between regional and international levels of analysis, Egypt and the Struggle for Power in Sudan forces historians to rethink certain assumptions about the complex and contradictory relationships between imperialism and nationalist movements, while providing a definitive political and intellectual history of Egypt's postwar struggle for control over Sudan.' Brian Peterson, The American Historical Review
