"Leakey tells his story well in this wonderful inside look at the politics of wildlife protection in a developing country." -Booklist In this engrossing memoir, one of the most controversial, influential, and inspirational figures in African politics today gives the full story of his crusade to save Kenya’s natural resources, and specifically the African elephant-a crusade that set him against internal corruption, poverty, and dangerous criminals. Sometimes at the risk of his own life, Leakey’s love of Kenya, and his convictions about the direction his country-and all of sub-Sahara Africa-must take to survive, have been unshakeable. Wildlife Wars is the odyssey of an extraordinary man in an extraordinary land."A brisk and vividly personal story. . . . the memoir will fascinate anyone interested in conservation or East African politics." -Publishers Weekly"As an effective champion of wildlife [Leakey] appears to have few equals. Highly recommended." -Library Journal
