|  | | Damned and Damned Againby William Willis
Devil's Island - the notorious prison colony in French Guyana in South America. But it wasn't only convicts who stayed there - after a man had finished his prison sentence, he was not allowed to return to France - he had to stay in the colony as a libere. Neglected by the authorities and left to starve or die of malaria, they were damned as convicts and then damned as free men.
It was into this world in 1938 that William Willis sailed - looking for Bernard Carnot, an innocent man. In a land full of desperate men where the means to escape meant more than human life, a man could be killed for his canoe - Willis was nearly murdered for the gold fillings in his teeth.
Dammed and Dammed Again is one of the most moving stories about human courage and resolve ever written. Infected with dysentery and fever, attacked by convicts and lepers, many a lesser man would have given up his quest and gone home; but not William Willis. The story of how he tried to save Bernard Carnot from a living death is one of the great unsung adventure books of the 20th century.
