About this book
Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke search for the Nile's source under the sponsorship of the Royal Geographical Society. Their differing personalities place a seasoned linguist beside an ambitious young officer. Candice Millard situates the expedition within European fascination with Egypt and the colonial competition that shaped exploration, mapping and claims to cultural authority.
