New book - Cannibals, Crocodiles and Cassowaries
This book is about Ross's time in pre-independence Papua New Guinea (1967 - 73) and captures a particular time in history when real adventure was still possible and a young man's attitude made those adventures happen. His retelling is as fresh as if it happened yesterday and there is never a dull moment. From hair raising experiments with stump blasting to being caught in the arrow-fire of a tribal battle. He witnesses a young men's initiation ritual that no non-natives have ever seen, visits cannibals and head-hunters in their isolated villages and experiences the mysterious power of native superstition. Ross's life is never dull. This book includes some 60 coloured photographs from his vast collection which richly illustrate his writing.
