About this Item

232 x 151 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. 325, incl. index; photographs, line drawings and maps in text. Trace of foxing to edges. Very good condition. "For many years Sierra Leone and Liberia were too dangerous for outsiders to travel through, bedevilled by a uniquely brutal form of violence from which sprang many of Africa's cruellest contemporary icons - child soldiers, prisoner mutilation, blood diamonds. With their wars over, Tim Butcher sets out on a journey across both countries, trekking for 350 miles through remote rainforest and malarial swamps. Just as he followed H. M. Stanley through the Congo - a journey described in his bestseller Blood River - this time he pursues a trail blazed by Graham Greene in 1935 and immortalised in the travel classic Journey Without Maps. Greene took 26 bearers, a case of scotch, and hammocks in which he and his travelling companion, his cousin Barbara, could be carried. Tim walks every blistering inch to gain an extraordinary ground-level view of a troubled and overlooked region.".
