A Glimpse of North Sudan (Reviews from readers)

“I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it—the perfect length and the perfect fill of historical and now more contemporary facts…and interesting photos. It had not occurred to me that there would even be pyramids there. I had assumed that Egypt had them all! You write that the intention was ‘to stir reader’s interest in a fascinating and largely forgotten land’ and honestly you did that for me…Brilliant, huge congratulations.”  – RMB

“I was amazed at the depth of your research and how much you packed into your short stay in the country. Also found your epilogue most interesting and especially the part played by tribal loyalties in that part of the world. The British idea of indirect rule was a template that other countries should have followed.”  – RF

“Have enjoyed it. The front cover is most evocative. I was quite unaware of the tradition of pyramids elsewhere than in Egypt, and all the more startled to read that a plunderer had been decapitating the ones in North Sudan. Nor had I ever thought about the relative pleasures of motoring across desert sands as opposed to good tarmac. And lots more to entertain and inform. Smiled at the evocation of young Winston Churchill.”  – RB

“Thank you for opening my eyes and very well done.”  – JH
