When I first glanced at my copy of BLOOD RIVER which arrived in my mailbox, I had a disparaging feeling that I?d purchased another common travel monologue.
But I opened the book and committed myself. I was utterly surprised and truly could NOT put the book down! What a thrilling account of one man's travels in the footsteps of Stanley in the Belgium Congo.
I have read many other histories of this area, but BLOOD RIVER is outstanding. Tim Butcher, a determined journalist of the London Telegraph, has done what no one has done for decades: traveling the length of the Congo in one of the most dangerous parts of the continent.
The author's prose places you completely in his shoes. I dare anyone to let this adventure pass from your mind after reading it. I also dare anyone to put it down after starting it.
