Sinopse

Percy Fawcett was a man obsessed. A fearless British explorer, he believed in the existence of a lost city deep in the Amazon rainforest—an ancient civilization he called Z. In 1925, he set out on what should have been his greatest discovery, venturing into the heart of the jungle with his son and a small expedition team. But then, the world heard nothing.
 
 
 
No letters. No distress signals. No bodies.
 
 
 
Fawcett and his team vanished without a trace. Theories have swirled for nearly a century. Did they succumb to disease? Were they attacked by hostile tribes? Or—more chillingly—did they find something so incredible that they never wanted to leave?
 
 
 
His story has inspired books, films, and endless speculation. But the ultimate question remains: What really happened to Percy Fawcett in the depths of the Amazon?

    Imperialism, a system of domination and exploitation, has shaped the course of human history for centuries. At its core, imperialism refers to the policy of a nation extending its power and influence through diplomacy or military force. Colonization, often considered its most aggressive form, involves the establishment of control over a foreign territory, exploiting its resources, and subjugating its people. The roots of imperialism date back to ancient civilizations, but the most notable period of imperial expansion occurred between the 15th and early 20th centuries, driven by European powers such as Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal. 
    The Age of Exploration, beginning in the late 15th century, marked the beginning of a new era of European imperialism. With the development of advanced navigational technologies, European nations sought to expand their empires by discovering new trade routes and territories. Colonization became intertwined with economic ambition, as European countries sought access to valuable resources like gold, spices, and sugar. The discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492 marked the start of extensive European colonization in the Western Hemisphere, followed by the establishment of colonies in Asia and Africa. 
    The motivations for colonization were multifaceted. Economically, European nations sought to control trade routes and establish lucrative colonies that could supply raw materials, which would fuel the industrial revolutions in Europe. Politically, nations pursued imperialism as a way to enhance their power and prestige on the world stage. Colonization also provided a solution to domestic issues, such as overpopulation and unemployment, by offering new lands for settlement and economic opportunity.

    On July 3, 1972, twenty-four hippies from Clearwater, Florida, set up tents and settled in for the night at Briar Bottom, a public US Forest Service campground in western North Carolina. The impromptu campout was a pit stop for the group on their way to a Rolling Stones concert in Charlotte. Early that evening, they drank beer, smoked marijuana, and listened to rock music as they anticipated the good times that lay ahead. Near midnight, the county sheriff showed up with six deputies, allegedly responding to a noise complaint. They were armed with pistols and five sawed-off 12-gauge shotguns, one of which discharged, killing a young man named Stanley Altland. To this day, no one has been held responsible for the tragic incident, though it happened in front of over a dozen eyewitnesses. 
     
     
     
    Timothy Silver writes the true story of Altland's death and its aftermath, using archival research, interviews with surviving Clearwater campers, and newly unearthed FBI files. A mix of true crime, southern history, and personal storytelling, this book shows how, in the dark of night at a remote mountain campsite, the killing of an innocent man epitomized the suspicion of young people and violence toward the counterculture that gripped the nation in the early 1970s.
