Poisoned Arrows: An Investigation in the Last Place in the Tropics
by George Monbiot At great personal risk and with forged travel documents, George Monbiot bluffed, cheated and forced his way into the remotest tropical place in the world - the forbidden forest territories of West Papua. Sealed from the outside world, it is home to tribes who have remained in some cases unchanged and unseen for centuries and who are now, along with their forest land, being systematically exterminated. This classic account, first published in 1987, has recently been re-released, with a new foreword by the author.
