Do you think that Larry Oliphant from Mountains of the Moon would qualify for manipulating John Speke into turning against his friend by telling him that he slandered him and that he claimed that he destroyed his book, simply because he's jealous of him? Before their expedition to find the source of the Nile River, he claimed that Speke would deserve most of the credit and he would be more rich than Richard Burton for being a proper Englishman than a rogue buccaneer. After Speke learns the truth and commits suicide, he tries to incriminate Burton and said that he'll be dead too.
