    SUMMARY:
    Alan McCrae Moorehead
    , (22 July 1910 – 29 September 1983) was a
    war correspondent
    and author of popular histories, most notably two books on the nineteenth-century exploration of the Nile,
    The White Nile
    (1960) and
    The Blue Nile
    (1962). Australian-born, he lived in England, and Italy, from 1937.
    A fascinating portrait of Africa in the 50s - a seminal book of its era as the author visits the pygmys and get to close quarters to wild gorillas. From an era when man and the animal kingdom held an uneasy truce. Moorehead's misgivings about this fragile ecology were sadly prophetic.
