Setting out to re-create the legendary British explorer Henry Stanley's trip down the Congo River, author Jeffrey Tayler makes his journey in a dugout canoe complete with food, medicine, and a gun-toting guide.
With honesty and rich description, he portrays the modern-day Democratic Republic of the Congo as a land of smothering heat, intense rains, wary villagers, corrupt officials, jungle animals, mosquitoes, and breathtaking natural beauty.
