Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey

The River of Doubt

Dana Kraft

For me, the most memorable and interesting character was Rondon, especially his approach to relations with indigenous people. I didn't care much for the Americans in the story, probably because their preparations were so ham-handed. The author tried too hard to tell me that there was a constant sense of foreboding instead of letting me feel it in the story. I was also ambivalent on her asides about natural history - sometimes they worked, other times they were too much. I don't think I would recommend this book.

Good balance of science, historical persons, and adventure. I had very high expectations because of how much I love Destiny of The Republic, and this one isn’t quite as good.
