When Don McCullin and Mark Shand decided to get away from it all, they ended up on the other side of the world - in the Asmat region of Irian Jaya in Indonesia, home of the ferocious nomadic tribe, the Orang Hutan. Mark Shand gives an account of their fitful progress - a story of drama and farce, of compassion and earthly high spirits, of terrific muddles and incredible bravery. After seeing off the dangers of crocodiles, spiders and jungle latrines, they track down the Orang Hutan, possibly the first white men to do so. Mark Shand is the author of Travels on My Elephant.
