Book Review of Elephant Company: The Inspiring Story of an Unlikely Hero and the Animals Who Helped Him Save Lives in World War II

VolunteerVal avatar reviewed on + 599 more book reviews


This is the very interesting and very readable description of the life of James Howard Williams, a Brit who joins the staff of a teak harvesting company in 1920 and finds his life's passion. I learned a great deal about elephants by reading this book which has excellent photos printed throughout. I'm grateful my book club prompted me to read this; I'd consider reading the author's other books about animals.
