Lost Tribe: A Harrowing Passage into New Guinea's Heart of Darkness

The Liawep were a lost tribe living in deep jungle in far northwest Papua New Guinea; as far as the outside world was concerned they did not exist. Marriott first heard about them in 1993, when their ''discovery'' by a missionary hit the headlines. He set out to find them himself, to hear their stories, their hopes, & their fears for their changing world. Banned by the Papua New Guinea government from visiting them, he assembled his own patrol & ventured illegally into the wilderness. ''A gripping narrative adventure & a stunning account of what happened to a small society of primitive people suddenly ensnared by the predations of modern life.''
