In 1961, Michael Rockefeller, 23-year-old heir to the Rockefeller fortune, disappeared while on an anthropological expedition along the treacherous coasts of New Guinea. A massive search was mounted, but no sign of him was ever found. Seven years later, a tantalizing story reached journalist Milt Machlin: could it be that Rockefeller was still alive, held captive by headhunting tribesmen? In "The Search for Michael Rockefeller," Machlin recounts his fascinating adventures in pursuit of the truth of the young scion's fate. Against a jungle backdrop of strange "cargo cult" beliefs, "payback" revenge-killings, and cannibalism, Machlin spins his exciting tale with late-night, round-the-campfire brio.
"A story of adventure and mystery, told in the relaxed, oral style of a good yarn." -- Pete Axthelm, NEWSWEEK
