European diseases, trigger-happy prospectors opening up the interior, and savage inter-tribal warfare were putting an end to them. While the forces of conservation were in the ascendant, the Brazilian government sent out expeditions to contact the remaining Indians and accustom them little by little to the twentieth century; to protect the best of their traditional way of life it established a National Park on the River Xingu. Spearhead of the conservationsists were the Villas Boas brothers, who spend their lives in the jungle working to save the tribes - until the forces of exploitation effectively wrecked their life's work as arterial roads started eating into the conservation area. The one tribe whose hostility to the Europeans proved virtually implacable was the Kreen-Akror; for years they had been killing intruders on sight. It fell to the Villas Boas brothers to try finally to make contact. * Good condition - hardback edition. Good DJ, some spotting to page edges. BCA, 1974. *
