Praise for AMONG THE CANNIBALS: Simply fascinating... Raffaele's book is worth devouring. -- Associated Press Swashbuckling... A dark thrill ride to the extremes of behavior ... reaches beyond adventure anthropology and achieves a tone of urgent humanity. -- Kirkus Reviews [A] modern, non-fiction version of Conan Doyle's The Lost World: a time-warp glimpse into man's most primordial nightmare; exciting, fantastic, horrific--and a very well-written travel narrative. -- Peter Nichols, author of A VOYAGE FOR MADMEN
