This book is written for hunters. Nevertheless, because it contains such startling insight into the management needs of Africa's elephants as a whole, and because it so clearly explains the inherent ecological dangers to Africa's game reserve national parks should their elephant populations be MIS-managed, it should be prescribed reading for everyone in the national parks and wildlife management professions, and everyone connected with the eco-tourism industry, in Africa. It should also be read by nature-loving people, everywhere, if they are at all interested in the well-being, and the survival, of the African elephant.

The first part of the book deals, inter alia, with the condition of the elephant habitats in some of south central Africa's greatest elephant sanctuaries, relative to the numbers of elephants these game reserves are carrying. Game reserves in Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa are covered. There are also chapters for the hunter: on rifles, calibres and bullets; on the hunting areas in which the author hunted elephants; on the elephant's "vital organs" - the hunter's targets; and an intriguing chapter explaining why big game animals sometimes attack.
This is a book for the tyro - the would-be elephant hunter of tomorrow and for the experienced elephant hunter, as it sets out the magnitude of Ron Thomson's elephant hunting experience and knowledge about elephants. The second part of the book contains a host of authentic and outstanding elephant hunting stories that will leave the reader spellbound. This book is an African hunting classic.
