The Last Resort: A Memoir of Zimbabwe

The non-English words were, gratefully, translated. The story is told with very good skill. A great mix of character building and individuals' stories. Considering the way things were going, I was expecting the end to be incredibly sad and horrible. I almost can't believe the author's parents and closest staff survived!

In the mid 90s, I spent a week working with scientists doing an animal census in Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park. This memoir was a great catch-up for me and I wonder if the scientists ever went back once the situation improved.
