Eden's Exiles - Col Jan Breytenbach - Softcover

This is the story of war and conservation, a drama enacted in a theatre in the southwestern corner of Africa. 

Author Jan Breytenbach, a legend in military circles, and a founding member of South African Special Forces the Recces describes how he discovered that Military Intelligence was involved in illegal wildlife trade with Jonas Savimbi. To his horror and astonishment, senior officers were also using the MI created ivory-smuggling routes for their own corrupt ends. A must-read on a little known topic of the South African Border War, Angolan Civil War, and the de facto genocide of southern Africa's Big Five, particularly the elephant.
