Members of the Mahdist forces took him captive after the fall of Khartoum in 1885 and for the next 11 years he was a prisoner of the Khalifa, Abdullah al-Taashi.

The book was published in German and Wingate edited this English edition, dedicated to Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria made Slatin an honorary Member (fourth class) of the Royal Victorian Order later that year."
