Synopsis
Theodore Roosevelt is remembered for having been one of the more active and robust of the presidents; the former Rough Rider boxed, hiked, and went on safari. He was also interested in nature, science, and exploration. Following his ignominious defeat in the 1912 election, Roosevelt went on safari in Brazil with the famous explorer Candido Rondon. In THE RIVER OF DOUBT, National Geographic writer Candice Millard recounts their journey, which was filled with adventure as well as danger, as she tells how Roosevelt, Rondon, and their party discovered and charted The River of Doubt, a hitherto unexplored branch of the Amazon River. Roosevelt wrote about this trip in his THROUGH THE BRAZILIAN WILDERNESS, and Millard places the events in historical context. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year for 2005.

Industry Reviews
"[A] vibrant retelling of Roosevelt's post-election expedition....Millard, a former writer and editor for National Geographic, combines high adventure well told with dazzling pages of nature writing that illuminate the darkest, steamiest sections of the Amazon forest.....THE RIVER OF DOUBT would be an exhilarating story even if an ex-president weren't involved."
New York Times Book Review - Bruce Barcott (10/16/2005)
