The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey by Candice MillardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I had never heard of Teddy Roosevelt's post-presidential expedition to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil until the recently-aired Ken Burns series ("The Roosevelts"). The perilous nature of the trip intrigued me and so when I saw this book, authored by a National Geographic reporter Candice Miller, I knew I had to read it. And I am happy that I did - even if it took what must be a year or more to finish (thanks to our public library for seemingly endless renewals).
