River of the Gods: Genius, Courage, and Betrayal in the Search for the Source of the Nile by Candice Millard
5.0
Everyone knows about Burton and Speke but Bombay was just an afterthought until this book.
Ms Millard has produced a will written and researched tome about the search for the source of the Nile. Its also a study of British exploration in the 1850s and the inherent troubles with the huge personalities of Burton and Speke.
I will definitely be purchasing the hardback version of this.
A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital version in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
