    There is a 1st person account of these events written by an Austrian priest, Joseph Ohrwalder, who was a captive of the Mahdi for 10 years in the 1880s. It's titled 'Ten Years in the Mahdi's Camp.' It is available in various places as a free PDF download. it's a fascinating read.

      Mostly because he led a successful rebellion against the British (not exactly, but more or less) which killed a well-respected British officer, General Gordon. Also, a very epic movie was made on the subject: Khartoum, starring Laurence Olivier as The Mahdi and Charlton Heston as Gordon. As usual, history is way more complex and nuanced than the movie version.
      I sort of recommend you to watch the movie first and then listen to the biographies of both gentlemen in this channel. The contrasts are fascinating. ✌
