About this title: "A magnificent new life . . . [and] a superb adventure story. . . . There have been many biographies of Stanley, but Jeal's is the most felicitous, the best informed, the most complete and readable and exhaustive, profiting from his access to an immense new trove of Stanley material." -- Paul Theroux, front page, "New York Times Book Review" Henry ...

"Hollywood could never do reality justice, these explorations of the Congo and Africa are staggering in their magnitude and the drive of Stanley to journey into this environment is unbelievable. Worth a read for the insight on colonization politics alone, let alone the insight into an often maligned and forgotten player in the history of exploration."
"What little I knew of Stanley was, of course, his (supposed) infamous phrase and what I had read in Hochschild's King Leopold's Ghost. Jeal's achievement is to present both Stanley's life as it was/is perceived and as it seems to have happened. A thoroughly impressive reevaluation of a conflicted and tragic figure. The narrative pace is fast without sacrificing fact. A truly monumental life, rendered with obvious passion."
