Adventure in Africa: The Story of Don McClure

by Charles Partee

The story of Don McClure describes five decades of adventurous commitment to serving some of the most primitive people of Sudan and Ethiopia in the middle years of the 20th century. The lively narrative of life among the Shulla, Nuer, Dinka, Anuak, and Somali reads like a well-crafted fiction. Adventure in Africa is a winsome and challenging account of a wonderfully human, incredibly brave, relentlessly energetic, and completely happy man who devoted half a century to East Africa when he was shot to death in 1977.

I got totally absorbed in this book.

This is a true story so don't look for fast action or plot. It is an amazing story of a man and his wife, their love for the people of Sudan and Ethiopia. The adventure and challenges they face and overcome are just hard to fathom. Told from view of Don McClures diary and Charles Partee's additional narrations. I am so glad to have read this book about this little known missionary/adventurer.
