More about the book
First published in 1994. The story of Suakin has in the past been told in numerous ways and styles, each narration explicating one of the many facets of this enigmatic island. Suakin has been analysed from military, economic, political and social perspectives that looked as far back as 641 AD when the town first came into contact with the outside world. But all stories told about Suakin have been about its inhabitants, its visitors and invaders, friends and enemies. This is the first story about the actual island; the physical mass.
