Klappentext

Reproduction of the original, first published in 1874. Late 19th-century historical account of Sir Samuel White Baker's expedition to Central Africa, commissioned by the Khedive of Egypt to suppress the slave trade and establish legitimate commerce. Baker recounts the region's lawlessness under Arab traders, the horrors of slavery he had witnessed earlier, and the Khedive's reform aims, while describing the logistical challenges of moving troops and supplies across treacherous terrain and the entrenched interests resisting change.
