Book Description Condition: new. (Hardcover, 2010). (1991) 2010 new edition. 8vo (155 x 235mm). Pp256. B/w illustrations by Bruce Langton, map. Blue boards, spine titled in black. Fine copy in dust-wrapper. "If ever a time and a place had a profound effect upon a man, that time was the 1950's, the place Africa, and the man Robert Ruark. In Africa, the author .finally grew up. .Just as Africa changed Robert Ruark, Ruark watched first hand as Africa changed itself, and not always for the better. Ruark witnessed the terror of the bloody Mau Mau Emergency, but he left Africa before changing political climates, uncontrolled poaching, and open warfare left a land desolate and hunters, seeking solitude, little to enjoy. [This book] spans the years from his first safari, when Horn of the Hunter was born, to a story published just two months before he died. These stories now appear for the first time in book form, presented with special permission from Ruark's heirs and estate, chosen for what they reveal of Ruark both as a writer and a man." .
