Many explorers have attempted to run the entire length of the magnificent Nile River over the last century, but until 2004, none succeeded. At least a dozen died trying. Since 1964, three explorers have been shot, two drowned, and another disappeared. This thrilling, page-turning story is an account of the greatest geographical expedition of our time - the first complete descent of the Nile. From its source in Ethiopia, through Sudan and Egypt to the Mediterranean, the renowned adventurer Pasquale Scaturro completed the epic journey in 114 days, travelling 3,250 miles by raft and kayak. He and his team faced seemingly insurmountable challenges: attacks by man-eating crocodiles, arrests by militia, gunfire from bandits, extreme temperatures, exhaustion and near-drownings as they ran perilous rapids. He details his historic quest in a breathtaking tale that includes the history of conquering the Nile and the story of the friendships and tragedies that led to the expedition..
