Tony Sánchez is quite likely the world's most prominent living elephant hunter, and in this book he delves into the exploits and adventures of the famous elephant hunters of yesteryear: Walter Bell, John Hunter, Mickey Norton, Bill Buckley, Robert Foran, James Sutherland, and so on. He also discusses those obscure elephant hunters who shot as many, if not more tuskers but who are not as well known, simply because they never wrote books on their adventures.
