Just finished The lost city of Z by David Grann. Grann has made extensive research on the life of Colonel Percival Harrison Fawcett who disappeared under unknown circumstances in 1925 during an expedition to find what he believed to be an ancient lost city in the Amazon rain forest.
I had heard very little of this man or about the Royal Geographic society before I read this book. What a fascinating read to be able to follow these men and there hardships as they went out exploring uncharted jungle territory. Truly tough explorers who persevered despite very little of today's modern equipment.
