Pocketbook about savagery, barbaric rituals and torture, manhunts, fear, hatred and loyalty. Warning: this is not a book for weak stomachs!
Robert Chester Ruark was born in Wilmington, USA, on December 29, 1915. After 1950, Ruark began spending time in Africa, publishing Horn of the Hunter: The Story of an African Hunt (1953), about an African safari, and Something of Value (1955). Based on the Mau-Mau uprisings against British colonialists, this latter book took its title from an old Basuto proverb: "If a man does away with his traditional way of living and throws away his good customs, he had better first make certain that he has something of value to replace them."

at today's check this book was still on the shelves.
i brought a second book for the meetup with canadian froggie66, but i'm not entirely sure whether it was this one...
would be good in itself, meaning the book is not lost - the original stock of the obcz disappeared when the restaurant closed.
