About the Author:
Alex Shoumatoff was formerly a staff writer for The New Yorker and is now contributing editor at Vanity Fair. He is the author of nine previous books and lives in upstate New York with his wife and five children
From Library Journal:
In describing the four investigations he undertook in Africa, New York Times correspondent Shoumatoff recounts the madness that is as much of others as it is of African origin. He discusses the events surrounding the murder of Dian Fossey, a primatologist in Rwanda, and also tells of her lack of understanding of and cruelty towards the local people. He also discusses the approaching ecological disaster facing Madagascar; Central African Republic during the trial of the cruel, self-proclaimed Emperor Bokassa; and a journey to Guinea Bissau, Zaire, Kenya, and Uganda in a fruitless search for the source of AIDS. The tone is somewhat condescending and the title, in spite of the madness discussed, is misleading. Not recommended. Maidel Cason, Univ. of Delaware Lib., Newark
