They think we're animals ; Why don't you leave? ; Vengeance is mine ; Killers like me ; Epilogue: be good to her ; Author's addendum: so many of them are dead --  Appendix. 'Yanomamo: noble savages or Hobbesian brutes?" ; "Missionaries 1, anthropologists, 0 ; "Yanomamology, missiology, and anthropology" --  Glossary --  Family relations --  Legend of characters and locations --  Documentation. 
<br/><br/> The Yanomano of the Amazon - endangered children of nature or indigenous warmongers on the verge of destroying themselves? [In this book, the author] speaks for his people. Jungleman provides ... accounts of life-or-death battles among his people - and perhaps even more disturbing among the spirits who fight for their souls.
