Investigative journalist Dan Morrison takes a thoughtful, funny, and frightful trip across a region whose people are trying to claw their way from war and poverty to something better. The Washington Post - Tahir Shah …packed with narrow scrapes, humor and brazen feats of sheer adventure, all set against a brilliantly described backdrop. Reading it, I found myself slipping into the world of a good Rider Haggard novel because, after all, Africa is the continent par excellence of rip-roaring adventure…The Black Nile, which will resonate with old Africa hands the world over, deserves praise for the way it considers the ordinary on a continent so often forgotten by the world at large.
