When Obsession Becomes Destiny
Percy Harrison Fawcett wasn't chasing treasure when he disappeared into the Amazon in 1925-he was chasing vindication. At fifty-seven, with decades of exploration behind him, this decorated British colonel believed he'd found evidence of something that would rewrite history: an ancient, sophisticated civilization hidden in the jungle's green depths. He called it "Z." The world called him mad. His disappearance sparked the greatest exploration mystery of the 20th century, consuming not just Fawcett but scores of others who followed-perhaps a hundred people dying in search of answers. What drives someone to stake everything on an idea the entire scientific establishment rejects? And what happens when the line between visionary and fanatic becomes impossible to distinguish?
