Blood River: A Journey to Africa's Broken Heart by Tim Butcher

4.0

I can name most of the countries (and their capitals) of Africa, but my knowledge ends there. Butcher's book was engaging, frightening, stressful, sad. There are no simple explanations, no easy solutions, but the world must pay attention to the African continent.

I definitely need to re-read The Poisonwood Bible , and I need to read Conrad's Heart of Darkness (finally).
