Summary

From the filthy back streets of Dublin to the deserts of the Sudan to fight and die for the British Empire.

Found guilty of stealing bread to feed his starving family, Michael McGuire is offered the “Queen’s Hard Bargain”, go to prison or join the army. He chooses the army and, after training in Dublin Castle, his life is changed forever as he is selected to join the Gordon Relief Expedition that is being sent south of Egypt to Khartoum, in the Sudan.

Really interesting listen. Story moves along well

I would describe it as sharpe in the Victoria times. Great story well written and read. Story moves nicely and keeps your attention drawn. Very true to historical events. Very much worth listening to.

Fantastic

Fantastically detailed, Nigel has obviously done his homework. A must read for military history geeks.
