crazy river: a plunge into africa. richard grant

No one travels like Richard Grant and, really, no one should. Having narrowly escaped death at the hands of Mexican drug barons in the Sierra Madre, he now plunges with trademark recklessness into Africa, in an exhilarating and gripping descent through a previously unexplored river, the Malagarasi. Waylaid by thieves and whores, Grant travels by raft, dodging bullets and crocodiles, hacking through swamps and succumbing to fever, before finally emerging, bloodied but not broken at hes journey's end.
