Twenty Elephants in Seventy-Five Minutes: Top Trophy Hunters & Why They Do It

By Eduardo Gonçalves and Priscilla Presley

What goes on in the mind of a trophy hunter? This book attempts to answer that question.
For the first time ever, the world's top trophy hunters are profiled.
The book reveals the many hundreds - sometimes thousands - of animals they've killed, and the contents of their mind-blowing trophy rooms.
And it tells the stories of their most 'memorable' hunts - in their own words...

In the foreword, Priscilla Presley says: "Eduardo Gon alves' tireless work over the years has exposed the rottenness at the heart of this cruel industry, and has inspired some nations to introduce restrictions. '20 Elephants in 75 Minutes' will surely help bring this barbaric practice to a crashing end, once and for all."

'20 Elephants in 75 Minutes' is Gon alves' 6th book on the trophy hunting industry - and his most shocking to date. It reveals the identities of over 300 members of Safari Club International (SCI) who have all killed more than 100 animals. It lists more than 800 hunters who have shot all of the African Big 5 - Lions, Elephants, Rhinoceroses, Leopards, and Buffaloes.
SCI's key donors, some of whom have given over $1 million, are revealed too.

His work has won plaudits across the world."Mr. Gon alves has done the world a service" - The Times "Eduardo's highly respected work has been recognized as the most thorough detailed expos of this brutal industry. He is the world's leading authority on recreational killing." - Psychology Today "Eduardo presents the hard facts, meticulously researched and providing compelling evidence that the days of the great White Hunter should be brought to a close." - Dr Jane Goodall"If this doesn't get trophy hunting banned I don't know what will." - Judi Dench1.
