With unprecedented acess to a previously closed family archive the author shows just how misunderstood Stanley has been, both in his intimate life and his public career. Here is a timely re-examination of post-colonial guilt, new insight into African history, and a fresh understanding of the nature of exploration. Few biographies can claim so thoroughly to reappraise a reputation, or to be as moving, or as truly majestic.
Hardback. 570 pages. NEW.
