Colin Macmillan Turnbull (
1924-
1994) was a Scottish-born 
anthropologist who gained fame with his book 
The Forest People (1962), a detailed study of the 
Mbuti[?] Pygmies[?]. In 1972, he wrote his most controversial book, 
The Mountain People, which portrayed 
Uganda's hunger-plagued Ik tribe.
Turnbull became an American citizen and lived in Virginia with his partner of 30 years. After his partner's death, Turnbull retreated to a Buddhist monastery where he lived out his remaining years.
