N2  - "A Prisoner of the Khaleefa: Twelve Years Captivity at Omdurman" by Charles Neufeld is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on Neufeld's journey through the Sudan and his capture by dervishes, ultimately shedding light on his twelve years of enslavement and survival amid brutal conditions. It is likely of interest to readers who are fascinated by personal stories of resilience and historical conflicts in the region.  At the start of the book, Neufeld introduces readers to the context surrounding his ill-fated expedition into Kordofan. He recounts the preparations leading up to the journey, the engagement of guides, and the warnings he receives, especially concerning the trustworthiness of his caravan members. Soon after they set out, complications arise as they navigate the unforgiving desert, culminating in their betrayal by the guides. The tension escalates as they become aware of being led into an ambush, which ultimately results in Neufeld's capture and imprisonment by the rival dervish factions, setting the stage for the rest of his perilous journey.
