Lost City of Z by David Grann
What a great adventure tale! This non-fiction thriller is not for the faint of heart. Grann introduces the reader to British explorer Percy Harrison Fawcett who achieved world wide acclaim as an explorer of the Amazon. With graphic detail Grann explores Fawcett's obsession with the Amazon. He starts with Fawcett's military life through his last expedition taken with his son where they disappeared. Since then hundreds of other explorers have followed Fawcett's trail including the author. This is a riveting, well-researched introduction to Percy Harrison Fawcett (does Indiana Jones ring any bells?). Run get this book...now! You won't be sorry.
