Book
To the elephant graveyard / Tarquin Hall.
On India's Northeast frontier, a killer elephant is on the rampage, stalking Assam's paddy fields and murdering dozens of farmers. Local forestry officials, powerless to stop the elephant, call in one of India's last licensed elephant hunters. What ensues is a moving, intimate, often exhilarating tale of the search for a killer and a vivid portrait of the Khasi tribe with whom the elephants live intimately. In this real-life account, journalist Tarquin Hall takes us on an incredible journey to a place whose ancient ways are fast disappearing with the ever-shrinking forest.
