"Charles George Gordon is a hero of mine because he was so damned eccentric. He was a religious fanatic who could hardly be bothered to eat or sleep. He most likely died a virgin. And he had a death wish the size of Jupiter. A fascinating man. This is the story of his most interesting life, from birth in gray old England thru the War in the Crimea, the Taiping rebellion in China, his explorations of the Sudan and his eventual death in Khartoum. Excellent reading."
