It's been called the greatest geographical secret since the discovery of America: the source of the Nile. For centuries, adventurers and explorers have searched in vain for this mysterious place. Now, Alan Moorehead journeys back in time to follow these people in their quest for the origin of the mighty African river. Join him and meet the Khedive Ismail, Sir Richard Burton, King Mutesa of Buganda, and Stanley, the American journalist who found fame-and Livingstone-along the way.
