This is an outstanding book!! The author through his writing was able to take me on an expedition that included hardship, adventure, pathos, and danger only found in the Amazon. I felt the heat of the Amazon, the sting of the insects, and the privation that the author endured during his trek. The "Unconquered" also outlines the life's work and internal fire of Sydney Posseulo driven to protect the indigenous people from many advancing forces threatening their existence. Sydney Posseulo is the tireless and unrelenting Brazilian government leader heading the trek. His leadership techniques are detailed and sometimes questioned by the author. The trek included natives who were recruited locally for their indigenous ways and language skills. Another interesting aspect of the book is the wealth of background information and facts that are well researched and cited in the notes.
