Product Description

Synopsis
The Mountains of the Moon straddle the border between Uganda and Zaire in East Africa. A place of extraordinary beauty (Mohammed believed it was the Garden of Paradise was found) today Uganda is a country scarred by poverty, civil war and disease. John Preston went there to square dreams with reality and his book evokes the Africa of Rider Haggard, Stanley and Sir Richard Burton as he confronts the myths of its past with the bleak realities of Africa today.
