Gorillas in the Mist

In Dian Fossey's own words, here is the riveting account of her thirteen years in the remote African rain forests with the greatest of the great apes. As only she could, Dian Fossey combines her personal adventure story with fascinating scientific reporting in this landmark book about one of our closest primate relatives, the endangered mountain gorilla. Although Dr. Fossey's work ended tragically with her murder, Gorillas in the Mist, now the basis for a major motion picture, remains an enthralling testament to one of the longest field studies of primates as it reveals Fossey's remarkable efforts to ensure a future for the African rain forest and the few hundred gorillas that remain there.
