Alan Moorehead traces the intertwining journeys of legendary figures such as Speke, Burton, Livingstone, and Stanley, illustrating how ambition, rivalry, and imperial ambition collided against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and immense human suffering. Written with the pace and tension of a great adventure novel, the narrative uncovers the political and humanitarian consequences of European expansion into East and Central Africa, including the brutal Arab slave trade and the rise and fall of General Gordon at Khartoum. Moorehead's prose is authoritative yet deeply humane, presenting these larger-than-life personalities with both admiration and unflinching honesty. A companion volume to his equally celebrated The Blue Nile, this work stands as one of the finest examples of popular history ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810567008475,"sku":"2026200006850-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4601fb82-7955-4165-815f-684882157b9f.png?v=1779805331","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006850-secondhand-the-white-nile","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
