Abdullahi Gallab, who participated in many of the events he describes, is a superb storyteller. His account of Turabi’s rise in the context of colonial Sudan, where the ghost of Mahdism still lingered, his leadership in volatile—and violent—post-independence student and national politics, and his eventual fall from grace, offers an essential key to understanding Sudan’s past and uncertain present.
