For decades Sierra Leone & Liberia have been too dangerous for the outsider to travel through, bedevilled by a uniquely brutal form of violence from which have sprung many of Africa's cruellest contemporary icons
- child soldiers, prisoner mutilation, blood diamonds. Chasing the Devil tells the story of Tim Butcher's audacious expedition from Freetown at the mouth of the Sierra Leone river overland through forest-covered mountains & malarial plains to the coast of Liberia. His journey follows the route trekked by Graham Greene in 1935 & immortalised in his travel classic Journey Without Maps. As a journalist in Africa between 2000 & 2005 Tim came to know both countries well although reporting was restricted mostly to the capital cities. Now he ventures deep into areas not visited by outsiders for years, just as the terrible deadweight of conflict is being lifted. Both nations are on a developmental cusp & Tim explores whether national & international attempts to chase away the devil of war can succeed. & there are other 'devils' that he is in search of.. . Rural communities in both countries have a tradition of sorcery & spiritualism based around the idea of a community devil, a masked figure who comes out at night inducting adolescents into society's ancient rules. & there are the far more sinister 'devil societies', run by local warlords like Charles Taylor, which carry out acts of ritual murder in rural Liberia today. Tim tracks down these rural devils, both good & bad, to see what role they play in these changing countries. A dramatic travel book through one of the most fraught parts of the globe at a unique moment in its history. Weaving history & anthropology with personal narrative it is as exciting as it is enlightening.
