The Life of General Gordon is a biography written by Eva Hope and originally published in 1886. The book tells the story of Charles George Gordon, a British army officer who became a national hero for his exploits in China and Africa. Gordon was known for his bravery, his Christian faith, and his devotion to duty. He served in the Crimean War, the Indian Mutiny, and the Second Opium War, and was later appointed governor of Sudan. In this role, he became embroiled in a conflict with the Mahdi, a Muslim leader who was seeking to overthrow the British presence in the region. Despite being vastly outnumbered, Gordon refused to abandon his post and was ultimately killed in the siege of Khartoum in 1885. The Life of General Gordon is a detailed account of Gordon's life and career, drawing on his own writings as well as the recollections of his friends and colleagues. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian imperialism and the challenges faced by those who sought to uphold British interests in far-flung corners of the globe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
