		Churchill recounts the rise of the Mahdi, the defeat of Gordon at Khartoum, the decision of the government to retake the Sudan, and the careful preparations by Kitchener (in some ways a forerunner to Schwarzkopf's massing overwhelming force against Iraq in 1991).
		Winston Churchill is one of the greatest figures of world history; this book, written when Churchill was in his twenties, is a wonderful book that considers the reconquest of the Sudan both from a first person point of view (because Churchill was there), and from a broader historical perspective.
		Churchill lays out in detail the reaction in Britain, the political reasons for why no action was taken at the time, and then goes into a wonderful segue about the intervening years of the wars of the Mahdi and his successor, the Khalifa.

	Development Raises Doubts About the Future of Churchill River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)

		Promises were made almost two years ago when studies of the Churchill were announced that Indian people would be aided in undertaking, their own studies, yet at the June All-Chiefs conference delegates were forced to pass a resolution once again calling on governments for the funds necessary to examine the project in detail.
		The possibility of diversions from the Churchill is a very real one since heavy consumption of waters in the South Saskatchewan River could force the province to divert northern waters to that river, because Saskatchewan is bound by agreement to pass on a fixed proportion of the South Saskatchewan's waters, to Manitoba.

		Grand Coulee in the United States, Krasnoyarsk in the Soviet Union and Churchill Falls in Labrador are three of the very few rivers that combine both of these rare natural phenomena.
