...ivory knife nor silver slug could pierce the Swarthy armor of his skin. His chest was as hairy as the pelt of a bear. His teeth were sharp as stakes. He taught his soldiery to play a game-first you took a village, then you lined up women, tore the babies from their breasts, tossed them in air, impaled them on spear points. Some say that a British propagandist, not Osman Digna, invented this game, but Colonel Horatio Kitchener (young then) took it seriously.
