Colonel Breytenbach was stationed in the Caprivi Strip during South Africa's involvement in Angola's civil war in the 1970s and 1980s. By 1988 most of the wildlife in the area had been massacred or driven out. He tells how elements of the SADF and Unita colluded in smuggling rhino horn and ivory to the Far East; and how high-ranking politicians and others eradicated wildlife through illegal hunting. Breytenbach struggled against these practices until he was recalled to Pretoria.
