Explorers of the Nile by Tim Jeal
Between 1856 and 1876, five explorers, all British, took on the seemingly impossible task of discovering the source of the White Nile. They journeyed through East and Central Africa into unmapped territory. This title tells the story of these great expeditions, while also examining the tragic consequences which the Nile search has had.
Tim Jeal is the author of acclaimed biographies of Livingstone and Baden-Powell. His memoir, Swimming with My Father, was shortlisted for the PEN Ackerley Prize for Autobiography. His biography of Henry Morton Stanley, Stanley: The Impossible Life of Africa's Greatest Explorer, was published in 2007 and was named Sunday Times Biography of the Year.
