1957 Edinburgh, 1st edn, 347pp, illus. Col. Meinertzhagen was one of the most interesting characters of Kenya's colonial days. He was an army intelligence officer during the Mau Mau uprising and served in the Kings African Rifles. Meinertzhagen has become highly controversial in more recent times in that he seemed to have claimed far more deeds than he actually performed (among which is his claim to have rescued one daughter of Czar Nicholas in 1918 from the Bolshevists). Very sought after book on colonial Africa. Not primarily a hunting item. Appendix with weights of game animals. A near fine copy in a very good plus jacket.

Store description
World Wide Hunting Books, from the Publisher of Sports Afield magazine, sells fine antiquarian big-game hunting and exploration & hunting books on Asia, North America, Europe and Africa. World Wide Hunting Books’ stock is mainly antiquarian first editions that are in above-average condition; we have the collector in mind when we buy our books. If you are looking for a rare first edition on elephant hunting or a book on an expedition after wild sheep in Asia that took place over a century ago, you will likely find it in our extensive stock. We have books on tiger, bear, wild sheep, elk, ibex, buffalo, rhino, elephant, and lion hunting. We also have early exploration and hunting accounts from North America, Asia, and Africa. If it is a book on big-game hunting and if it is out of print, it is likely we have handled the book in our thirty-five-plus years of being in this field. We maintain a detailed, proprietary database with seven thousand-plus entries with bibliographical notes that helps us keep track of the thousands of hunting books ever printed. We work with small collectors as well as huge university libraries. We are proud to have helped some of our customers create collections that contain more than one thousand books, but we are equally happy to provide you with that one special book you have always longed for or want to present as a gift. …
