The Plunderers" is an exciting novel that draws attention to ivory and rhino horn smuggling between Angola and South Africa during the reign of Jonas Savimbi. In a vivid writing style, author Jan Breytenbach details how corruption in the upper echelons of government in both countries nearly drove the elephant and rhino to extinction along the boarder of Namibia and Botswana. In this thrilling tale, a local game ranger is forced to become a fugitive and goes into hiding among the Bushmen who work with him to save the dwindling herds.
