'There can be few more dangerous, exciting and unorthodox jobs than the trapping of live crocodiles. In this lively and never dull book Rory Macaulay gives a graphic account of the hazards which go with such an occupation in the wilds of the upper Zambesi in Northern Rhodesia. There is here not only an insight to a part of Africa comparatively little known, but an adventure story as well that would not disgrace the imagination of any novelist. That the story is a true one - both in Africa and the United States, where the reptiles are taken to a crocodile farm - makes it all the more readable.'
