Summary:  "The mysterious disappearance in 1961 of Michael Rockefeller during an expedition in the Asmat region of southwestern Netherlands New Guinea has kept the world and his powerful, influential family guessing for years. Startling new evidence that tells the full, astonishing story. Despite exhaustive searches, no trace of Rockefeller was ever found. Rumors surfaced that he''d been killed and ceremonially eaten by the local Asmat -- a native tribe of warriors whose complex culture was built around sacred, reciprocal violence, head hunting, and ritual cannibalism. Michael's death was officially ruled a drowning. Sensational rumors and stories circulated, fueling speculation and intrigue for decades. Retracing Rockefeller's steps, the author traveled to the jungles of New Guinea, immersing himself in a world of headhunters and cannibals, secret spirits and customs. He uncovered never-before-seen original documents and located witnesses willing to speak publically after fifty years. Combining history, art, colonialism, adventure, and ethnography, Savage Harvest is a mesmerizing whodunit, and a fascinating portrait of the clash between two civilizations that resulted in the death of one of America's richest and most powerful scions"--Provided by publisher.
