P.M. Holt and M.W. Daly

"In this fifth edition of P. M. Holt and M. W. Daly's well-known History of the Sudan, the authors describe the making of the modern Sudan." "This book is more than just a political narrative. Professor Holt and Daly explain how the modern Sudan has been shaped by three key elements in its history; the influence of the Ottoman Empire; the impact of British domination; and, above all else, the enduring indigenous tradition of the region, produced by the intermingling of its African and Arab Muslim inheritance, which forms the basis of Sudanese nationality, religion and culture." "This new, fully revised and updated edition of A History of the Sudan is an ideal introduction for students, scholars and general readers."--BOOK JACKET
