Description: "On March 1, 1999, American safari guide Mark C. Ross was camped with four clients in Uganda, searching for endangered mountain gorillas. By day's end, two of these clients and six other tourists were dead at the hands of Rwandan rebels slipping across the border from the Congo. The tragedy made headlines around the world, and Ross, grieving for his lost clients and friends, realized his life had changed forever. He writes, "The continent has always been the love of my life.

Now there is trouble between us."" "Dangerous Beauty is the story of that love and that trouble. Ross in one of the most seasoned and skilled safari guides at work in Africa today, and he writes here about his close-hand encounters with danger and natural beauty in Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Uganda."--BOOK JACKET.
