"Tim Jeal's book draws on a far wider range of published and manuscript material than was available to earlier biographers. It is detailed, painstaking, and mostly detached and should become a standard work." Times Literary Supplement

"Mr Jeal has done well with his provocative biography: Livingstone is less of a saint, but more of a man." Richard Hall, Observer

Tim Jeal is the author of the biographies Stanley, the possible life of Africa's greatest explorer and Baden-Powell and the history Explorers of the Nile, the triumph and tragedy of a great Victorian adventure.
