Shoumatoff covered international dictators in South America and Africa, nearly all major political candidates in the United States in the 1990s and 2000s for Vanity Fair, often before they chose to run for office, including John Kerry, Donald Trump, Bill Weld, Robert Kennedy Jr., Al Gore, and many more.
In 1976, he spent 6 months in the Amazon Rainforest where he was the first remote visitor to tribes that became his book ''Rivers Amazon'' which led to a long career in global journalism. In 1986, he wrote an article about the murder of Dian Fossey that was optioned to become the movie Gorillas in the Mist.
Shoumatoff was called "consistently the farthest flung of the far-flung writers at ''The New Yorker''" by The New York Times, "the greatest writer in America" by Donald Trump, and "one of our greatest storytellers" by Graydon Carter. Provided by Wikipedia
