I would hate to be dropped in the middle of an Australian desert with him (if he was still alive) as he is a terrible braggard.

If you've ever dreamed of the Africa of old, the "classic" Safari days of endless game and gentlemen hunters, this is your book. Robert Ruark is genuis, from the opening page you are drawn into the book page after page, you will lose sleep until you are finished with this gem because you simply won't want to put it down ! It is almost as is if you can smell & hear the Africa Ruark describes, and "feel" the charge of a Cape Buffalo , Lion or Leopard. You will want to read this book again & again & it just get's better each time. The only book Ruark wrote that might garner a higher rating is "Horn of the Hunter", on a personal suggestion by Harry Selby ( Ruarks friend & "White Hunter", a professional hunter without parallel ). You will NOT be dissapointed with "Use Enough Gun" or "Horn of the Hunter" ..

I found a first printing of this book in an obscure little shop and being an avid reader of african hunting books i picked it up.As I began to read it i could not put it down until it was finished,and i might add it took my breath.Ruark put his superb writing talent to good use in telling of his adventures hunting buffalo and africa's other exciting game.
