Agree a good read, a good follow up to the Pakenham book if interested in Africa at that time is "the Founder" Cecil Rhodes and the pursuit of power , Robert L Rotberg.
Also " Fighting the Fuzzy-Wuzzy" (Days and Nights of the Service with Sir Gerald Graham's Field force at Suakin) Major E.A. De Cosson.
