Book Description: Just before sailing off to war in
the Sudan, British guardsman Harry Feversham quits his regiment.
He immediately receives four white feathers-symbols of cowardice-one
each from his three best friends and his fiancée. To disprove
this grave dishonor, Harry dons an Arabian disguise and leaves
for the Sudan, where he anonymously comes to the aid of his three
friends, saving each of their lives. Having proved his bravery,
Harry returns to England, hoping to regain the love and respect
of his fiancée. This suspenseful tale movingly depicts
a distinctive code of honor that was deeply valued and strongly
promoted by the British during the height of their imperial power.
