From the jacket blurb: ''Against a background of crisis and corruption, journalist Nicholas Gordon criss-crossed Tanzania's ivory trail by jeep, plane and through the bush on foot, hunting down the jangili, the ivory poachers. Poor and illiterate, far out in the bush, and living by their wits from camp to camp, the jangili are the shadow masters of Ivory Knights. Their skill is bushcraft, their weapon stealth, their strength an immemorial atavistic magic of animal powers. As the once great herds make their last stand in the vastness of Tanzania's Selous reserve, understanding the jangili is the key to the future. This book is about a war we must not lose.''
