Book Discussion: River of the Gods by Candice Millard

Book Discussion: River of the Gods by Candice Millard In-Person

"River of the Gods" by Candice Millard is a non-fiction historical narrative that recounts the dangerous 19th-century quest by Richard Burton and John Speke to discover the source of the Nile River. The book explores their challenging expeditions, marked by hardship, illness, and personal conflicts, as they navigated East Africa amid colonial interests. It also highlights the crucial, yet often overlooked, role of local guides like Sidi Mubarak Bombay, in the explorers' successes and failures.
