Abstract:An account of the exploration of the Upper Reaches of the Nile and its consequences. He presents in shortened and accessible form the writings of those astonishing explorers; who come to life once more in this book: Speke, Baker, Stanley, Gordon, Livingstone, Grant, Burton. The 2nd half of the book deals with the consequences of the discoveries made - British invention in the Sudan, and in Uganda. This enables him to deal with the end of Gordon's story, and also to write about Kitchener, Lugard, the Mahdi, King Kabarega, Emin Pasha. (Review in Central African Examiner) 4 (1961) no. 19, p. 27: 'a moderate and civilized paean to high imperialism').
