Summary:

Over the last century the African elephant has been threatened with extinction. Robin Brown paints a vivid picture of the impact of hunting on Africa's elephants, of the conservation movement which has become essentially a tale of war and of the powerful personalities involved on both sides--from Cecil Rhodes to Dennis Fitch-Hatton and Edward, Prince of Wales to David Sheldrick.
