The story of Percy Fawcett's journeys in the Amazon and his final search for the so called lost city of Z. I've been somewhat interested in the old time explorers and how they went about doing what they did and this book does a good job of opening up the curtain for a layman such as myself.
I picked up for 60% off in hardcover but I'd weight for the paperback or pick it up at the library. It's damned good but a bit short for the price.
