About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 2014. First printing. Hardcover. Very Good+ in Very Good+ DJ. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 291 pgs, index. In 1856, two intrepid adventurers, Richard Frances Burton and John Hanning Speke, set off to unravel a geographical unknown: the location of the Nile River's source. They traveled deep into an uncharted African wilderness together, arrived at two different solutions to the mystery, and parted ways as sworn enemies. The feud became an international sensation on their return to England, and a public debate was scheduled to decide whose theory was correct. What followed was a massive spectacle with an outcome no one could have foreseen.
