. River of Doubt
by: Candice Millard
November 03, 2005
The author provides a fine framework for interpreting and understanding events that lead to the expedition and those that occurred both during and after the expedition. The Rondon-Roosevelt expedition traveled over a harrowing 1000 miles on and along the Duvida River. Over the course of the expedition illness, starvation, duplicity, and murder are countered by sheer willpower and the strength that human character can assume when faced by adversity.
