Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chinese Gordon: A Succinct Record of His Life The good fortune has never come to me to know General Gordon, and this little volume makes no pretence to be anything more than a compilation and an abridgment. There are two authoritative works on General Gordon´s career - Dr. Andrew Wilson´s "Ever Victorious Army," and Mr. Birkbeck Hill´s "Colonel Gordon in Central Africa;" which last has a special value, consisting as it does for the most part of General Gordon´s own letters to relatives and friends, with admirably written linking chapters by Mr. Hill. I have acknowledged the quotations made from Mr. Egmont Hake´s volume, which are taken only from the few passages of it which are not, as is my own work mainly, a digest of the two original works named above. My sole aim has been brevity and lucidity. This little volume aspires to be simply a handy-book - I hope for the many - to the life of a great man in whom at present we have all a burning interest.
