EXPLORERS OF THE NILE: THE TRIUMPH AND TRADEGY OF A GREAT VICTORIAN ADVENTURE BY TIM JEAL. HARDCOVER, FULLY INTACT DUST JACKET, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES, 510 PAGES, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

"A mystery unsolved for thousands of years. It had confounded the ancient Greeks and baffled the most eminent minds of the Victorian era. In 1856, the final search began to solve one of the great geographical unknowns of the age - the source of the White Nile.
Six men and one woman, some of the greatest explorers who ever lived, risked their lives and their reputations in the name of this quest. Showing exceptional courage and extraordinary resilience, Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke, Florence and Samuel Baker, James Grant, David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley journeyed through East and Central Africa into unmapped territory. They discovered the great lakes Tanganyika and Victoria, navigated the upper Nile and the Congo, and suffered the ravages of flesh-eating ulcers, malaria and deep spear wounds. Some would resort to sheer ruthlessness and double-crossing for the fame and glory that beckoned. Not all would return.
Using new research, Tim Jeal, author of the bestselling Stanley, tells the story of these epic expeditions, while also examining the tragic consequences the Nile search has had on Uganda and Sudan to this day. The result is a gripping adventure story and a new understanding of Britain's imperial past." - Blurb
