The Amazon Basin, rich in minerals, fascinatiq~
yet forbidding in its mystery, has over the centuries
attracted the dregs of civilisation. With their
superior technology and unhampered by moral
considerations, they have brought miserable
death to the free, uncompromising and difficult-
to-pacify Indians who live there. Tribe after tribe,
with no desiie to accept an alien authority or to
adapt to an alien culture, has been reduced to
pitiful remnants or exterminated completely.
Lucien Bodard, is a well-known French journa-
list. This is the vivid account of his own investi-
gation of the continuous human tragedy of the
Amazon Basin. I-le tells of his own encounters
with a wide spectrum of humanity in the cities
and the jungles of Brazil. He tells of sickening
cruelty, cynical exploitation and of bureaucratic
indifference, incompetence and outright corrup-
tion. His skilful prose re-creates the horrific
actuality of the results of centuries of bloodshed
in the oppressive, dehumanising atmosphere of
the green hell .
