"Dr. David Livingstone, the Scottish medical missionary, is known to history as the greatest explorer of his age and a dedicated humanitarian who devoted his life to the eradication of the African slave trade. He was a national hero to his contemporaries and time has confirmed his reputation as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of the eminent Victorians, both in his achievement and in his influence." - George Martelli In this book, the author reveals Livvinstone as a complex and paradoxixal figure: a man capable of self-sacrifice and cruelty both, full of doubts and contradictions. His impact on colonial plitics was great and it was his ideals and influence which, years after his death, played a major part in establishing British imperial power in Africa.
