**"The Blue Nile"** is a historical book by **Alan Moorehead**, first published in **1962**. It is one of two books by Moorehead that chronicle the exploration and history of the Nile River, with the companion volume being **"The White Nile."** Both works are highly regarded for their engaging narrative style and thorough historical research.

In **"The Blue Nile"**, Moorehead focuses on the section of the river that flows through Ethiopia and Sudan, from its origins in Lake Tana to its confluence with the White Nile in Sudan. The book covers a wide range of historical events, including the military campaigns, explorations, and political intrigues of the 19th century. It particularly emphasizes the exploits of European adventurers and explorers, such as **Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt**, **the rise of Muhammad Ali**, and the British involvement in the region.

Moorehead is praised for his ability to weave together the rich history of the Nile with vivid descriptions of the landscapes and the people who inhabited the region. His storytelling captures both the grandeur and the turmoil of the time, making it accessible to both history enthusiasts and general readers.
