Ian Nyschens has shot equally as many elephants as Walter Bell, and under much more difficult circumstances. His book will rank with or surpass the best elephant-ivory hunting books published in the 20th century. Remarkably, his adventures took place much later than the likes of Bell, Sutherland, Neumann, and others. Having shot well over 1,000 elephants under circumstances that will be unbelievable to some, Ian Nyschens and his hunts with his double rifle are sure to impress. Included in this book is his remarkable adventure when he and some friends were charged by 17 elephants in a swamp. He was the most notorious elephant poacher in Rhodesia until the time he was finally appointed a warden to help protect the game. This is a highly entertaining story of a time long since gone and of a man remarkable for his adventures. One of the GREAT adventure stories of our time that has received rave reviews both in North America and in Africa.
