Description
This journal of the Zaire River Expedition 1974 - 75 is based on the official log kept by its leader, Major John Blashford - Snell, and provides a fascinating account of one of the great expeditions of our time. It preserves all the immediacy of day - to - day events in a journey of discovery from source to mouth of the river that traverses nearly three thousand miles of Central Africa, flowing through the heart of what is still an almost unknown region.
( ... ) In the Steps of Stanley is a remarkable tribute to the spirit of adventure itself, and a clear indication that this spirit flourishes as strongly today as it did a hundred years ago.
