Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Creasing to front cover.

The mysterious disappearance of Michael Rockefeller in New Guinea in 1961 has kept the world and his powerful, influential family guessing for years. Now, Carl Hoffman uncovers startling new evidence that finally tells the full, astonishing story.

Despite exhaustive searches, no trace of Rockefeller was ever found. Soon after his disappearance, rumours surfaced that he'd been killed and ceremonially eaten by the local Asmat, A native tribe of warriors whose complex culture was built around sacred, reciprocal violence, head hunting and ritual cannibalism.

The Dutch government and the Rockefeller family denied the story, and Michael's death was officially ruled a drowning. Yet doubts lingered. Sensational rumours and stories circulated, fuelling speculation and intrigue for decades.

The real story has long waited to be told, until now. (back cover)
