Stanley : the impossible life of Africa's greatest explorer
Jeal, Tim2007
Books, Manuscripts
Henry Morton Stanley was a cruel imperialist, who connived with King Leopold II of Belgium in horrific crimes against the people of the Congo - or so we think. But as Tim Jeal shows, this perception is not true. Now, abundant new documentary evidence allows Jeal to show just how misunderstood Stanley's life has been.
