Traversing two and a half thousand miles of the toughest terrain on the planet in a twenty - five year old Land Rover they faced repeated challenges from kleptocracy and fire ants to non - existent roads and intense suspicion from local people. Through imagination and teamwork - including building rafts and bridges to cross rivers conducting makeshift surgery in the jungle and playing tribal politics - they got through. But the Congo is raw and the journey took an unexpected psychological toll on them all. Crossing the Congo is a story of friendship what it takes to complete a great journey against tremendous odds and an intimate look into one of the world's least - developed and most fragile states.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Crossing The Congo Over Land And Water In A Hard Place\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Hatch - Barnwell Charlie\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: C Hurst \u0026amp; Co Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781849046855\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages, 64 Illustrations, Color\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 12\/1\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Travel Writing","brand":"Hatch - Barnwell Charlie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49625902186801,"sku":"IN-G-9781849046855","price":37.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781849046855.jpg?v=1724942286","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781849046855-crossing-the-congo-over-land-and-water-in-a-hard-place","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
