In this scrupulously researched biography, Roy Richard Grinker charts the rise and fall of one of anthropology's most colorful and controversial figures, Colin Turnbull. From Turnbull's Scottish family and privileged education to his travels in Africa and his great love affair with Joseph Towles, Grinker, noted for his own work on the Pygmies, gives readers a fascinating account of Turnbull's passions, flaws, dreams, and influence on the field.
