Description

Tim Butcher follows Graham Greene's footsteps into Liberia where he encounters masked sorcerers whose magical powers depend on cannibalism and long forgotten missionaries.

Description

Chasing the Devil tells the story of Tim Butcher's audacious expedition from Freetown at the mouth of the Sierra Leone river overland through forest-covered mountains and malarial plains to the coast of Liberia. He ventures deep into areas not visited by outsiders for years. Both nations are on a developmental cusp and Tim explores whether national and international attempts to chase away the devil of war can succeed.
