"An engrossing account of Mounteney-Johnson s travels and harrowing

experiences in the Equatorial Province from 1888-89 with Emin Pasha.

He recounts in riveting detail the harsh and unfair treatment he received

while in Emin's territory and indeed of his long imprisonment there. His

book revealed an unknown side of the governor's leadership style in Africa,

one which was weak and ineffective. 'It was not until I had witnessed many

deplorable examples of his weakness and vacillation that I began to lose faith

in his judgment, and it was not until afterwards, when I had conversed frequently

with his people and himself about things in his province, and the repulse of the

Mahdi's forces four years before, that I found out that Emin had only told part of

the story.' Mounteney-Jephson was actually sent on the mission to Emin Pasha by

Henry Stanley who wrote the prefatory letter and also revised and collaborated on

the writing of this book. An important narrative of early English

governing in Equatorial Africa."
