Despite warnings that his plan was 'suicidal', Butcher set out for the Congo's eastern border with just a rucksack and a few thousand dollars hidden in his boots. Making his way in an assortment of vessels including a motorbike and a dugout canoe, helped along by a cast of characters from UN aid workers to a campaigning pygmy, he followed in the footsteps of the great Victorian adventurers. Butcher's journey was a remarkable feat, but the story of the Congo, told expertly and vividly in this book, is more remarkable still.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/audiobook/92/75/9781407417592_CD111420_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "13.86", "our_price" : "13.86", "club_price" : "13.86", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "discount_pct" : "10", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00" } }
