"[This biography] of Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904) concentrates on his life as an illegitimate and adolescent shunted off to a workhouse and on his early career as an explorer, particularly on his first two African expeditions - the first to find David Livingstone and the second down the long stretch of the Congo to its mouth . McLynn seeks to expose the reasons why a man of such indomitable will, technical and tactical ability, and personal bravery could behave so savagely." - Economist.
