Summary "The Life of Gordon, Volume II" by Demetrius Charles Boulger is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and significant undertakings of Major-General Charles Gordon, focusing on his role as Governor-General of the Soudan and his various military and administrative challenges. It particularly emphasizes his determination to suppress the slave trade, manage political tensions, and bring stability to the tumultuous regions under his governance. The opening of this volume illustrates Gordon's complex feelings about returning to Egypt and taking up the position of Governor-General in the Soudan after a brief leave. Despite his initial reluctance, influenced by the Khedive and his friends involved in the anti-slavery cause, he recognized the necessity of his leadership in addressing the dire situation in the region. The narrative details his negotiations, the challenges of wielding power amidst local unrest, and his ambitious plans to fulfill his humanitarian and administrative objectives, highlighting his unwavering commitment to combat the slave trade and improve governance in the Soudan.
