Peter Beard ha realizzato questo libro in venti anni di lavoro, fotografando, scrivendo e facendo ricerche. "The end of the game" racconta la storia degli imprenditori, cacciatore, missionari e esploratori la cui sete di avventura e progresso ha completamente cambiato il volto dell'Africa del ventesimo secolo. Questo volume raccoglie centinaia di fotografie d'epoca e racconta storie del continente nero, a cominciare dalla costruzione della ferrovia di Mombasa che aprì la via per l'Africa nera.
Peter Beard first visited Africa in 1955 when he began working on his expansive collection of articles and photographic essays. His books include Longing for Darkness a tribute to the life of Karen Blixen, The End of the Game , and Eyelids of Morning: The Mingled Destinies of Crocodiles and Men , all published by Chronicle Books.
