The travelers were beset by piranhas; starvation; rapids; malaria; mutiny; Indians with poison-tipped arrows; and tiny Amazonian fish that attack the, um, loins. In the dark of the jungle, delirious with fever, threatening suicide, the indomitable ex-President transforms into an existential hero straight out of Joseph Conrad...
