Moderate: Genocide, Suicidal thoughts, and Alcohol
Typical racism, xenophobia, and imperial attitudes of Europeans for the Victorian period. Genocide is listed as moderate because the Rwandan genocide is briefly mentioned without going into lots of detail. But it still hits hard in context.crownoflaurel's review against another edition

Additionally, if Sidi Mubarak Bombay is the true center of this story as is hinted at — the summary of his life, apart from Burton and Speke, should have earned a chapter of its own, as they received. And not tucked into the epilogue. Arguably, he did go further and see more then either, so the content was there.
