Just read The River of Doubt, a historical fever dream.

Teddy Roosevelt post-presidency, lost in the Amazon with malaria, murderers, hostile tribes, and the legendary Candido Rondon. 

Imagine nearly dying in the jungle with your son to prove something no one asked you to.

Unreal story.

The River of Doubt

Millard tells the story of TR’s ill fated trip into the Amazon.

The story itself is great. The book is full of interesting characters. But the storytelling does justice to neither, and the book falls flat.

It’s at its best just reciting a litany of jungle horrors.

Two stars for its class.

I thought it was weak
