Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a detailed study of the rivers flowing within the Sudan, north of the Albert Nyanza, presents an in-depth insight into the waterways of this region during the late 19th Century. Meticulously researched and compiled by a British military intelligence officer with extensive experience in the region, this sourcebook was written during a period of intense interest in Africa and its resources among European powers. With decades having passed since its creation, this book remains a valuable resource, not only for its historical interest and as a record of the region's waterways during a particular point in time, but also for its detailed and technical information on their navigability and the challenges faced by those seeking to travel them. Through the examination of the White Nile, its tributaries, and the many challenges involved in navigating them, this book paints a vivid, detailed picture of late 19th Century Sudan, a region soon to see the dawn of a new century, marked by vast political and social upheaval. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332135134_0
