Uses non-European sources to portray the defence, by devoutly Islamic leaders, of some of the last parts of the African continent to be conquered during the imperial European ""scramble for Africa"" that ended with the First World War. These surviving pieces of diplomatic correspondence concentrate on the alliance between Ali Dinar, prince of the sultanate of Dar Fur in the western Sudan, and the leaders of the Sanusi brotherhood then based in southern Libya.
