John Hemming's experience on the Iriri River expedition led to a heightened interest in Brazilian indigenous peoples. On various expeditions he visited 45 tribes throughout Brazil four of them (Surui, Parakana, Asurini and Galera Nambikwara) at the time that Brazilian teams made the first-ever face-to-face contact. Over the following 26 years he completed a three-volume history of the indigenous peoples and exploration of Brazilian Amazonia: Red Gold (1978), which covers the period 15001760; Amazon Frontier (1985), covering the period 17601910; and Die If You Must (2004), which describes their changes during the 20th century. The three volumes add up to over 2,100 pages. Condition: Corners bumped. Jacket spine sunned, spine ends rubbed else very good in like jacket.
