Attention Book Groups

In the second half of the nineteenth century, no place on earth was as mysterious, foreboding, dangerous or downright deadly than the Nile River.  Those daring to brave the frontier were heroes in their own time and names like David Livingstone and Sir Henry Morton Stanley were topics of dinner conversation.

Alan Moore chronicled this era in his classic history The White Nile.  The New York Herald Tribune called it "A vivid chronicle, stirring, exciting, important...Endlessly fascinating.  A superb drama of adventurers whose like can never be seen again."
