White Hunters

The author tells of eighty years of safaris in Africa, evoking "the harmony that once existed between hunters and such magnificent animals as elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino--the big five--that roamed the high plateaus of East Africa in large numbers before poaching and politics intervened. Beyond the glamour of hunting safaris, the author shows the intricate connection between hunting and conservation and provides evidence that elephant and rhino populations are beginning to rebound after years of devastation."--Jacket.
