(Publisher's note): 'Hunting the Spiral Horns – Kudu, the Top African Antelope, edited by Peter Flack, is the first in a five book series covering all the spiral horns and is designed to be the definitive book on hunting the six species and sub-species of kudu.

'It is a big book, nearly 300 pages long with in excess of 400 colour photos. The 16 hunters and authors who contributed material specially written for the book reads like the Who’s Who of kudu hunters and includes luminaries such as Anthony Dyer, Brian Herne, Robin Hurt, Alain Lefol, James Mellon, Jason Roussos and Tony Tomkinson to name but a few.

'The book also includes the exploits of famous hunters of yesteryear such as Maydon, Selous, Swayne and others and chapters on rifles and ammunition, clothing and equipment and two “How To” chapters by passionate and very experienced kudu hunters

'Kevin Robertson, the famous professional hunter, vet, author of The Perfect Shot and many other books and articles had this to say after he read the book: “Think again if you reckon you know all about kudu. I foolishly thought I did and I have been humbled. This book opened my eyes to my inadequacies. Beautifully written and masterfully assembled, this new book is a treasure trove of valuable information, useful hunting tips, tried and tested techniques and interesting anecdotes. So much so that I will never again look at a kudu with the same eyes. Peter Flack’s latest effort is destined to become a classic. This is the definitive work on these magnificent antelopes.”
