"This book is about Stanley's journey through the Congo to save the Emin Pasha after a revolt took away his power. But the expedition lost more men and supplies through the choices Stanley made. A look into a great British Explorer that was a horrible man."
"You can't make this stuff up. These explorer stories are amazing in the ordeals they endured. Given how soft humankind is nowadays, I doubt any of us transported back to these times would have survived. How they did it is beyond me."
