Summary
David Livingstone was one of the most consequential individuals who lived in the 19th century. An unpretentious Scottish missionary doctor, explorer, and abolitionist, he opened the door for Christianity in southern Africa.
Vance Christie’s biography is the most comprehensive and accurate ever written about Livingstone. During his lifetime, he was a hero in Britain and beyond, and gained a degree of respect, trust, appreciation, and even affection from many African people. He was a man who overcame many deprivations and discouragements, and displayed the utmost measure of courage, self-control, faith, wisdom, and ingenuity. Christie takes a balanced look at Livingstone’s amazing achievements, but also at his very real flaws. This gripping and in-depth biography is a must-listen insight into a fascinating man.
