Book Review of The Last Expedition : Stanley's Mad Journey Through The Congo

The Last Expedition : Stanley's Mad Journey Through The Congo
reviewed on


Historians will like this. A rescue mission gone bad---the horrors arise from the central character as much as the jungle. Stanley was long on passion and short on common sense. The last few chapters detailing the afterward are as dark as the rest of the book.
