Publisher's Synopsis
""The Mahdi of Allah: The Story of the Dervish Mohammed Ahmed"" is a historical account of the life and legacy of the Sudanese religious leader and revolutionary, Mohammed Ahmed. Written by Richard A. Bermann, the book chronicles Ahmed's rise to power as the self-proclaimed Mahdi (the savior of Islam), his successful rebellion against the Ottoman Empire, and his establishment of a short-lived Islamic state in Sudan. The book also explores the complex political and religious landscape of Sudan during the late 19th century, as well as the impact of Ahmed's movement on the wider Islamic world. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Bermann provides a fascinating and insightful portrait of one of the most important figures in Sudanese and Islamic history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
