 elt's Darkest Journey by Candice Millard\n\nSynopsis:\nThe River of Doubt—
 it is a black\, uncharted tributary of the Amazon that snakes through one 
 of the most treacherous jungles in the world. Indians armed with poison-ti
 pped arrows haunt its shadows\; piranhas glide through its waters\; boulde
 r-strewn rapids turn the river into a roiling cauldron.\n\nAfter his humil
 iating election defeat in 1912\, Roosevelt set his sights on the most puni
 shing physical challenge he could find\, the first descent of an unmapped\
 , rapids-choked tributary of the Amazon. Together with his son Kermit and 
 Brazil’s most famous explorer\, Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon\, Roosevel
 t accomplished a feat so great that many at the time refused to believe it
 . In the process\, he changed the map of the western hemisphere forever.\n
 \nAlong the way\, Roosevelt and his men faced an unbelievable series of ha
 rdships\, losing their canoes and supplies to punishing whitewater rapids\
 , and enduring starvation\, Indian attack\, disease\, drowning\, and a mur
 der within their own ranks. Three men died\, and Roosevelt was brought to 
 the brink of suicide. The River of Doubt brings alive these extraordinary 
 events in a powerful nonfiction narrative thriller that happens to feature
  one of the most famous Americans who ever lived.\n\nThe River of Doubt: T
