Candice Millard’s histories have been New York Times bestsellers and named best books of the year by prominent publications. Now, Millard reveals the harrowing exploration of the Nile River and its complicated legacy. English explorers Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke are well-documented. But a third man on the expeditions, his name obscured by imperial annals, proved extraordinary. Sidi Mubarak Bombay, a formerly enslaved person from East Africa, used his resourcefulness, linguistic prowess, and courage to earn a living as a guide. Without Bombay, who led, carried, and protected the expedition, neither Englishman would have come close to the headwaters of the Nile, or perhaps even survived.
