  Book Description
  Publication Date:
November 1, 2011
  Between 1856 and 1876, five explorers, all British, took on the seemingly impossible task
of discovering the source of the White Nile. Showing exceptional courage and extraordinary resilience, Richard Burton,
John Hanning Speke, Samuel Baker, David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley risked their lives and their reputations in
the name of this quest. They journeyed through East and Central Africa into unmapped territory, discovered the great
lakesTanganyika and Victoria, navigated the upper Nile and the Congo, and suffered the ravages of flesh-eating ulcers,
malaria and deep spear wounds. Using new research, Tim Jeal tells the story of these great expeditions, while also
examining the tragic consequences which the Nile search has had on Uganda and Sudan to this day.
  
 
Explorers of the Nile is a gripping adventure story with an arresting analysis of Britain's imperial past and the
Scramble for Africa.
  
  Reviews
  “Explorers of the Nile is a brilliant, scholarly and at times almost unreadably vivid account of the two
decades in the middle of the 19th century when the search for the Nile’s source in central Africa was at its
height.”—Ben Macintyre, New York Times Book Review
  
 
"Elegantly written and skillfully crafted...The greatest strengths of this highly enjoyable and readable book are
Jeal’s passion for his subject and his mastery of personalities as complex as the geography they battled to
understand."—Diane Preston, Washington Post
  
  "Superb
narrative . . . Jeal’s judicious account is a must-read for anyone hoping to understand the internal dynamics of
modern state-building in central Africa."—Brian Odom, Booklist
  
  "Masterly...One of the fascinations of Jeal's book and his account of this astonishing period of exploration is that
it makes great efforts to strip away the accumulated myths and through this process we can begin to see these 'heroic'
figures plain, to imagine them as they were to their contemporaries."—William Boyd,
TLS
  
  "Tim Jeal's masterly book ... can safely supplant Alan Moorehead's 1960 classic, The White
Nile... Jeal also knows how to tell a fabulous story, and he lets old-fashioned epic adventure sit at the heart of his
fine book." —James McConnachie, Sunday Times
  
  "[A]
wonderfully entertaining and authoritative account of the search for the Nile and its consequences."—John Preston, Sunday Telegraph
  
  "There are few greater stories
than the race to the Nile's source... Tim Jeal gives a fine reprise, bringing together in one well-paced narrative the
interlocking Nilotic adventures ... Its place [is] alongside the classics of Victorian explorer history."—Tim Butcher, Daily Telegraph
  
  "If there is one book about the
search for the sources of the Nile to read and keep on the shelf, this is it."—Tim
Severin, Irish Examiner
  
  "Epic in proportion...An absorbing adventure and a thought provoking
morality tale."—Peter Burton, Daily Express
  
  "Tim Jeal's
gripping book pulls the whole astonishing story together. . . . It's as intricate and unexpected as the source of the
river itself. . . All the main players were. . . examples of grit, resourcefulness and courage on a heroic scale. . . .
How intimately Tim Jeal knows them all, and brings them back to life for us."—Tom
Stacey, The Spectator
  
  "Jeal's lengthy, comprehensive, and revisionist book is exciting reading
both about the adventures in the field and about the clash of personalities."—Rob
Hardy, The Dispatch
  
  "Tim Jeal's wonderful book is filled with anecdotes and brilliant cameos,
which keep the narrative fresh and sparklingly alive. His treatment of these legendary figures is authoritative and
compassionate."—Alexander Maitland, Literary Review
  
 
"Splendid."—Bernard Porter, Guardian
