Paxman traces the growth of a peculiarly British type of hero: adventurer, gentleman, amateur, sportsman, and decent chap, and the British obsession with sport. He travels to East Africa, following the paths of Victorian explorers searching for the source of the Nile, and to Khartoum in Sudan to tell the story of General Gordon.
