From the publisher: Generally regarded as the most comprehensive title ever on African hunting. There are 380 first-class black-and-white pictures on the 522 pages, with 52 chapters focusing on 20 different African countries. The scope of this book is more exhaustive than ANY other book on African hunting. James Mellon led the Carnegie Museum's East African expedition, which collected more than 3,500 bird, mammal, and reptile specimens for scientific study, and he spent 15 years in Africa hunting and collecting his specimens. This book is a result of that and other expeditions, and it covers absolutely ALL African game animals. No other book on general African big-game hunting has sold more copies-over 12,500 copies sold! Thrilling stories of the most dangerous and exotic animals of the Dark Continent that will keep you enthralled from the first to the last page.
