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.
Originally published in 1965, and available once again in paperback, this landmark work dramatically documents the changing history of African wildlife, focusing on the widespread destruction of the African elephant. Beautifully illustrated with over 300 contemporary and historical photographs as well as dozens of paintings, The End of the Game is a legendary work vividly telling the story of explorers, missionaries, and big-game hunters whose quests have changed the face of Africa forever.
