Chasing the Devil - The Search for Africa’s Fighting Spirit

Join adventure-travel writer Tim Butcher, author of the bestseller Blood River, and find out about his new book in which he ventures deep into Sierra Leone and Liberia, countries that for years were off-limits because of conflict so brutal it spawned many of modern Africa’s cruellest contemporary icons – child soldiers, blood diamonds, prisoner mutilation.

Chasing the Devil is a dramatic travel book touching on one of the most fraught parts of the globe at a unique moment in its history. Weaving history and anthropology with personal narrative – it is as exciting as it is enlightening.
