About This Item
NY: Simon & Schuster, 1969. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Hardcover in a lightly worn dust jacket, 286 pages. frontis, map on endpapers, biblio, notes, index, Of all Livingstone's exploits, none was more daringly conceived, more ill-fated and more difficult than his expedition to the Zambezi- a monumental step in opening up the Dark Continent. The author recounts the insuperable difficulties that made the expedition an epic of endurance- sickness, strandings, endless toil and hardship, and almost unbelievable acts of courage. More than a story of an expedition, it is a portrait of Livingstone the man, a hero of superhuman contrasts-ruthless to his subordinates yet selflessly humanitarian; completely idealistic yet viciously spiteful; profoundly serious yet a reckless gambler.
