Trade Review
Christopher Hibbert has done well to compress a hundred years of discovery into one thoroughly readable volume. * The Times (UK), (London) *
Sprightly, interesting reading. * Library Journal *
The stories are so good and Hibbert so expert in retelling them that… readers will be enthralled. * Publishers Weekly *
Hibbert is a writer of absolute certainty, and it is hard not to believe that he was himself on hand at every occasion he recounts. * The New Yorker *
Fascinating reading... . [Africa Explored] is likely to send the reader back to the explorers' own published accounts to gratify the curiosity Hibbert so entertainingly stimulates. * Los Angeles Times *
Hibbert writes exceptionally well, with a sharp eye for the clash of character and the dramatic moment. * Chicago Tribune *
