In the first half of the nineteenth century, only a small handful of Westerners had ventured into the regions watered by the Nile River on its long journey from Lake Tana in Abyssinia to the Mediterranean-lands that had been forgotten since Roman times, or had never been known at all. In The Blue Nile, Alan Moorehead continues the classic, thrilling narration of adventure he began in The White Nile, depicting this exotic place through the lives of four explorers so daring they can be considered among the world's original adventurers -- each acting and reacting in separate expeditions against a bewildering background of slavery and massacre, political upheaval and all-out war. -- Publisher description.… (altro)

Along with "The White Nile," this is a great general introduction to a region and historical period that doesn't get the attention it deserves. ( )

“The Blue Nile” is the subject of a book written by Alan Moorehead in 1962. In fact, the book only briefly explores the river from Lake Tana to Khartoum, and down to the Mediterranean, recollecting the journey of James Bruce, who claimed – wrongly – to be the first European to see the source of the Nile. Most of the book, however, is taken up by narrating the efforts of three colonial powers: the French invading Egypt, the Ottoman Turks in Sudan, and a British expedition in Ethiopia. A really nice, and very readable book, well written, entertaining and informative, and companion to The White Nile (which I hope to acquire, too, once back in The Netherlands) ( )

The exploration of the Blue Nile, the one that runs down from Ethiopia, is the topic of this well-written account of European exploration. from James Bruce to Kitchener at Khartoumn the story is well told.
Read twice. ( )

This book is infused with the tribal and religious
cultures of the region, cultures which persist to this day. It is very helpful in understanding the nature of the conflicts in which our forces in the region are currently engaged
