It will linger long after reading
Battle for the President's Elephants is an easy read even if the hard facts that linger after reading are not so easy on the soul. A worthy followup to The Elephants and I and absolutely worth a read. I laughed and shed a tear with Sharon Pincott and I was also left wondering how some people in Zimbabwe sleep at night. This book does make you want to jump on a plane and wing your way to the Hwange bush with its remarkable elephants and other wildlife but it also makes you determined to be selective. There are powerful messages sprinkled throughout. Look out for them among the lighthearted prose. by Carrie J. Speake
