Bawanajim, we have disagreed before, but you are dead on target about Uhuru. Not a popular book, but very well worth the read, and very sobering to boot.
I believe the mentioned quote actually came out of "Horn of the Hunter" did it not? I like all of Ruarks books, and may have them all, I am not sure. Ruark was a drunk, but his passion for hunting and for Africa cannot be disputed, nor his ability for writing.
On Ruark's worst day he was twice the man of those that todays youth worship.
All of his books are fine reading and I can't think of a better gift for a young hunter today than. "The old man and the Boy". The lessons to found in this book are surly missing in our young hunters today. The lessons learned from a covey of quail is as true today.
Ruark's ethics were beyond reproach and I doubt there will ever be a mangivenhis talent with the written word.
Most of his books can be found on ebay if you watchfor them.
I will never part with mine .
With ageI find "The Honey Badger" a very humbling read.
