INDEX 316
For many jars Sierra Leone and Liberia were
too dangerous for outsiders to travel through,
bedevilled by a uniquely brutal form of violence
from which sprang many of Africa's cruellest
contemporary icons
-
child soldiers, prisones
mutilation, blood diamonds. With their wars
over, Tim Butcher sets out on a journey across
both countries, trekking for
350
miles through
remote rainforest and malarial swamps. Just
as he followed H. M. Stanley through the Congo
-
a journey described in his bestseller Blood River
-
this time he pursues a trail blazed by Graham
Greene in
1935
and immortalised in the travel
classic Journey Without Maps. Greene took
26
bearers, a case of scotch, and hammocks in which
he and his travelling companion, his cousin
Barbara, could be carried. Tim walks every
blistering inch to gain an extraordinary ground-
level view of a troubled and overlooked region.
As a journalist in Africa, Tim came to know
both countries well although the wars made
trips to the jungle hinterland far too risky. Facing
down demons from his time as a reporter, this is
where he now heads, exploring how rebel groups
thrived in the bush for so long and whether the
devil of war has truly been chased away. And he
encounters other 'devils', masked figures guarding
the spiritual secrets of jungle communities. Some
are no more threatening than schoolmasters but
others are much more sinister, relying on ritual
cannibalism as a source of magical power. Tim
encounters these devils, both good and bad,
on an epic journey that demands courage,
doggedness and good fortune.
Chasing the Devil is a dramatic travel book
touching on one of the most fraught parts of the
„і„к„
α*
я „пішій
moment in its history. Weaving
history and anthropology with persoi
-
as well as new discoveries about Gi
as exciting as it is enlightening.
Born in
1967,
Tim Butcher was on the staff of the
Daily Telegraph from
1990
to
2009
serving as chief
war correspondent, Africa bureau chief and Middle
East correspondent. His first book, Blood River,
