Large fold-out color map at rear, 367pp., index 11pp. A series of chapters penned by former and current officials of the Sudan Government that deal with the broad lines of history, ethnography, faith and economics of the country.

Several pages with extremely neat marginalia in English and Arabic in former owner’s hand, with his name neatly inscribed on fly and dated al- Khartum ’42.
