Henry Morton Stanley has come down to us in history as a cruel imperialist, a bad man of Africa, and as the person who conducted the most famous celebrity interview in history, with the words Dr Livingstone, I presume?' In this compelling biography, Tim Jeal argues that Stanley is also one of the most misunderstood of the great Victorians, and offers a reassessment of Stanley's life, as well as a timely re-examination of post-colonial guilt and African history. Few biographies can claim so thoroughly to reappraise a reputation, or to be as moving, or as truly exciting.
