Book Reviews of Wildlife Wars: My Fight to Save Africa's Natural Treasures
Book Review: Top Notch
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Leakey is a world hero. His vision and ability to execute it, while inspiring his compatriots, is legendary. If only all world wildlife leaders were as effective as he at conservation strategy implementation. The book is so good that I tried not to read too much at one sitting, lest it end too quickly. Even if you are not passionate about wildlife conservation, this may well be the best book you'll ever read. GRY
Summary of Wildlife Wars: My Fight to Save Africa's Natural Treasures
In this engrossing memoir, one of the most controversial, influential, and inspirational figures in African politics today gives the full story of his crusade to save Kenya's natural resources, and specifically the African elephant--a crusade that set him against internal corruption, poverty, and dangerous criminals. Sometimes at the risk of his own life, Leakey's love of Kenya, and his convictions about the direction his country--and all of sub-Sahara Africa--must take to survive, have been unshakeable. Wildlife Wars is the odyssey of an extraordinary man in an extraordinary land.
