from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
A good book, written almost 50 years ago (at a time when many African countries were gaining independence) about the discovery, conquest and colonization of the Nile region by Europeans in the period 1850-1900. The first part of the book deals with the exploration of the source of the Nile by such... more info

| | 2. |  | The Blue Nile
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I have been intensly interested in the Blue Nile for about a year now. My interest is primarily in the history and natural resources of the watershed of the River Nile. A title search recently brought me to this book, and I'm glad that it did.
Moorehead, and outstanding writer, has done... more info

| | 3. |  | Gallipoli (Perennial Classics)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
This book is certainly a classic, as it is one of the first comprehensive overviews of this epic battle. In that sense it may be unfair to review it here with the hindsight of many decades of more extensive archival work done since its publication.
Why is it so important, what makes Gallipoli... more info

If you are interested in the War in North Africa this is the read for you. It is absorbing and well written with a flow of a correspondent who is constantly moving to different parts of the front.

| | 8. |  | Cooper's Creek
from Weidenfeld & Nicolson History
Customer Review:
This factual account of the first recorded south-north crossing of Australia, in Victorian times, is more amazing than any fictional adventure would dare be. A film of this book several years ago did surprising little raise awareness of the undertaking. The story recounts the key attempts and the... more info

Customer Review:
Alan Moorehead was a war correspondent during WW2 and since authored a number of fine documentary works, including the White Nile, Gallipoli, and many more.
