HUNTING ICONS OF AFRICA: THE TOP TWENTY-FIVE TROPHIES BY PETER FLACK. FIRST EDITION, 2009, HARDCOVER, FULLY INTACT DUST JACKET WITH INTERNAL TAPE REPAIR ON THE BACK, 293 PAGES, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
Hunting Icons of Africa represents the culmination of Peter Flack's five decades of hunting on the African continent. Having experienced literally hundreds of safaris in 15 African countries, he is uniquely able to choose the top 25 game icons in Africa and provide the reader with well reasoned and insightful comments as to why each of these animals merits selection. Of course subjectivity plays a significant part in these choices and each chapter is divided into two sections - the first setting out the reasons for his choice and the second being one of his well-written, warts-and-all, evocative and exciting stories about the hunt for each icon. None of these stories has ever appeared in a book and, to the extent that the animal may have been covered in one of his many magazine articles, each story has been completely rewritten and is substantially longer. In addition, nearly half of the stories have not been published before.
