He said, "There are worse memorials to a great life than a book or a tusk." He had predicted what would happen when European powers engineered independence for their colonies. A big game hunter, belt-level reporter and a man who preferred to live at risk, Ruark saw Africa best when he was hidden away in some part of it on a big game hunt. An informative, insightful and exciting biography. Trade Edition.
