That was one reason Schultz was in the Amazon.
Because WWII was on and the US needed another source of rubber when the East Indies were invaded by Japan.
As it turned out nothing much happened.
But anyway that is what the book is about.
The best bits are the bits about Schultz. I found him a very attractive character. He'd do to all these (I dunno what you call them) evenings on psychedelics with the Amerindians and emerge next morning looking very straight and respectable.
