In 1866 Britain's foremost explorer, Dr David Livingstone, set out for Africa to search for the source of the Nile. His course would lead through nearly impenetrable, unmapped terrain and into areas populated by fearsome man-eating tribes. Within weeks Livingstone's itinerary began to fall apart, his entourage deserted him and he vanished without trace. While debate raged in England over whether he could be found, James Gordon Bennett, an American newspaper tycoon, commissioned his star reporter, Henry Morton Stanley, to search for him. INTO AFRICA traces the journeys of Livingstone and Stanley in alternating chapters. Livingstone's story is one of trials and setbacks. Stanley's is an awakening to the beauty of Africa.
