Summary
"In 1966 the century-old statue, Afo-A-Kom, mysteriously disappeared from its sanctuary in the remote Cameroon Kingdom of Kom, triggering a world-wide search that ended in a New York art gallery in the Fall of 1973. The story of Afo-A-Kom, how its absence threatened the very existence of the Kom people, and its eventual return to its home, are ... told by the journalist whose stories of Afo-A-Kom aroused immense international interest when they appeared on the front pages of The New York Times"--Dustjacket
