Status Updates From The White Nile

Excellent writing and organization on a fascinating (now unfashionable) subject. Makes one want to travel the Nile from source to sea themselves, and it's humbling to know that unadvisable as that is today, it was vastly more dangerous to the men and women who braved that trek 150 years ago. Really astonishing Moorehead manages to put so much into a mere 300 pages, yet I never felt like anything was hurried over.
