hardcover. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardback. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. IN LIMBO The Story of Stanley's Rear Column. Tony Gould. Hamish Hamilton, London 1978 First Edition ISBN 0241101255 270pp Illustrated Hardback. In June 1887 Henry Stanley marched the advance column of his Emin Pasha Relief Expedition out of Yambuya Camp in the Congo Free State and put Major Barttelot in charge of the rear column. Stanley was leaving five Englishmen at Yambuya with 250 porters and the bulk of the Expedition's supplies, to be safeguarded for his return in four months' time. When Stanley returned fourteen months later, he found only one of his officers still there. Two were dead, a third invalided home, and there were over a hundred graves at Yambuya. It was an unmitigated disaster and whilst Stanley was in no doubt that the responsibility lay with the officers of the rear column, it wasn't long before England was demanding to know why Stanley had virtually abandoned the rear column, had not kept greater contact, and why he had chosen as unsuitable an officer as Major Barttelot. His reputation at stake, Stanley retaliated with nothing short of a smear campaign against his own officers. The Victorian public, avid for more salacious details, quickly lost sight of the original argument and transformed it into a generalised discussion of the pernicious efforts of contact between 'superior' and 'inferior' races. This is the first account of the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition to take the episode of the rear column as the main narrative and in doing so an entirely new perspective unfolds. This copy is in FINE condition in a FINE unclipped dustwrapper. Ref L5.
