- Summary
- Drink the Bitter Root is an emotionally charged account of a writer's travels in sub-Saharan Africa. Long fascinated by the "dark continent," Gary Geddes decides at age 68 to make the trip. During is travels he encounters rescued street kids, women raped and infected with HIV during the genocide, child soldiers, refugees and poets-turned-freedom fighters.This masterful blend of history, reportage, testimonial, and memoir is a condemnation of the horrors spawned by greed and corruption and an eloquent tribute to human resilience.
