Description
Tim Butcher's journey through Sierra Leone and Liberia is a testament to his courage and determination. After years of war made the region too dangerous for outsiders, he sets out on an epic trek of 350 miles through rainforest and malarial swamps.
Along the way, he encounters the devastating effects of lawless militia, child soldiers, brutal violence, and blood diamonds, as well as the spiritual secrets of remote jungle communities. His journey offers a unique ground-level view of an overlooked region on the cusp of recovery.
This book is a gripping account of one man's quest for understanding in the face of unimaginable hardship.
