| Beginning in 1930, a series of expeditions led by the Australian Michael Leahy went looking for gold in the unexplored highlands of New Guinea and found instead an intact civilization of nearly one million people who had had no previous contact with the outside world. It is a classic story of adventure, exploration, and discovery, as well as a sobering examination of colonialism. And for one of the very few times in written history, we hear this story most eloquently not from the visitors but from the visited: from people who remember firsthand the arrival of the white people and the disintegration of their old way of life. The book is illustrated with more than one hundred striking photographs from the Leahy archives.
