Wildlife and Warfare: The Life of James Stevenson-Hamilton

FROM THE PUBLISHER

"This biography, based on Stevenson-Hamilton's personal journals, illuminates for the first time the fascinating diversity of his ninety-year lifespan. The evolution of the Kruger National Park was his life's work, but Stevenson-Hamilton kept his many other interests alive. During his diverse military career he saw service in Natal in the late 1880s and in the First World War he fought in Gallipoli and Egypt. In 1917 he was seconded to a civilian administrative post in the southern Sudan where he remained until 1921." Wildlife & Warfare provides insights into South African and British history before the Second World War. It explores the troubled early history of the Kruger National Park within the context of Stevenson-Hamilton's life, and also presents the modern reader with an illuminating account of his pioneering work on environmental philosophy and management.
