An account of the course of the Blue Nile from the Ethiopian Highlands, through the Sudan and Egypt to the sea. The book contains a historical narrative which starts in the eighteenth century and ends in 1869. The period was dominated by four men: James Bruce, the Scot who journeyed to the supposed source of the Blue Nile, and stayed in warring Ethiopia; Napoleon who, needing military glory to further his political ambitions, led a brilliantly conceived expedition to Egypt; Mohammad Ali, the Turkish viceroy, who sent his son to conquer the Sudan in a ruthless quest for gold and slaves; and Emperor Theodore of Ethiopia, a tyrant who held British subjects captive.
