A very enjoyible read.
The book that the Heath Ledger movie is based on, this story is a great adventure into the heart of the desert and the heart of a man trying to regain his honor. Harry Feversham resigns his comission rather than face death in the Sudan, but he is sent four feathers branding him a coward including one from the woman he loves. He then follows his regiment to Africa to regain his honor.
