Clark set up the OSS installations behind Japanese and Red Army lines
in WW2. After the war, perhaps rightly fearing that there were many
players too interested in the information he held, he disappeared on
an exploration of the Madre de Dios, the Peruvian rain forest where the
Andes meet the Amazon through the Ucalyi River drainage. He was the first
white man to enter this jungle hell and return to civilization; "The
Rivers Ran East" is his telling of the tale, and what a tale it is. Right
up there with Shackleton for harrowing adventures. He also wrote "The
Marching Wind," his account of his exploration of the Tibetan plateau:
this book will show you why the Chinese can never fully subjugate Tibet.
