Publisher's green hardcover binding with pictorial dust jacket.

254pp. Illustrated. Foreword by Alan Paton.

Contents generally clean with occasional spots. Jacket with tears and edge wear.

Ian Player's gripping account of all the efforts made and measures taken to ensure the continued survival of the White Rhino population in what is today known as the Umfolozi Game Reserve.

Inscribed by the author to the chairman of the Natal Parks Board:

"To the Hon. H. Rall M.E.C. who became chairman of the Natal Parks Board at one of the lean periods of its long history. Knowing your interest in and love of Zululand, I thought you may enjoy this tale. It is about a period that the world will never see again, and about men who are the salt of the earth. With kind regards, Ian Player, Queen Elizabeth Park, 18th January 1973."
