Editorial Reviews - Amazon.com
"In this impressive, funny and moving work, Joe Kane tells the story of the Huaorani, a tribe living in the deepest part of the Amazonian rain forest in Ecuador. The Huaorani have only in the last generation been exposed to such items as the wristwatch. But the modern world is reaching them quickly; for better or worse--usually worse--they live astride some of Ecuador's richest oilfields. Oil production in the Amazon has opened the forest to colonization and industrialization, often with alarming results: about 17 million gallons of raw crude, more than in the Valdez spill in Alaska, were spilled from a Amazon pipeline between 1972 and 1989. Kane, who lived with the Huaorani for months, immaculately reports on the tribes' connections with the old world and its battles with the new one."
Amazon.com reviews -A Reader
"Objective, humorous, touching, and excellent journalism, This book will crush your preconcieved notion of the "savages".Joe Kane does a supperb job of presenting the story of the clash between the Huaorani and the American and South AmericanOil Companies in a territory the size of Massachusetts but with an unequalled abundance of wild life and vegetation.One of those books you will not want to put down. Expect a fascinating journalistic adventure (not propaganda) !"
