Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"One of the best travel books of 2000."
--The New York Times Book Review

"Heart-stopping, breathtaking adventure. Facing the Congo is a book worth reading and rereading."
--Morning Edition, National Public Radio

"Facing the Congo does what a travel book is supposed to do. It presents a vividly described world that brings the reader as close to the Congo as words can do, inspiring the type of wanderlust that can only be sated by one's picking a spot on a map and just going."
--CNN.com

"Tayler goes off the beaten path to give us a much deeper version of the truth, and unlike so many other gonzo travel writers, he is not politically naïve."
--Robert Kaplan, author of Balkan Ghosts
