'Although the accent in our present decade is concerned with the preservation of our precious species of wild life, it was not so long ago when hunting was the lifestyle of the affluent and trophy hunters were looked upon with awe. This is an extraordinary story of a lifetime spent in the jungles of Mozambique hunting elephants for their ivory, and in order to provide meat for workers on the tea estates. Very few men of our time have pitted their skills and endurance in such adverse conditions and over such a long period as did Harry Manners.'
