Clipped and dryly related memoirs of a former and longtime African game warden in the Serengeti National Park. Raised in Kenya, British-born Turner came full-circle into the conservation movement after more than a decade of work in the 1940's as a paid government hunter(destroying crop-raiding animals) and a professional safari leader. We learn of Turner's slowly achieved successes in reducing wide-scale poaching; his establishment of new and effective ranger stations; his dealings with dignitaries, visiting VIP's, and noted scientists: and his personal experiences with wife, Kay, in raising a family in the wild.

His autobiography, My Serengeti Years: the Memoirs of an African Game Warden provides a detailed history of Serengeti National Park's early years.

Myles Turner (1921–1984) was a warden of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania from 1956 to 1972. His efforts enabled the park to survive its formative years and grow into one of Africa's finest parks. Turner was born in England but spent most of his childhood in Kenya. He served in Africa during World War II and joined the Kenya Game Department in 1946 as a Game Control Officer. Three years later, he became a hunting tour leader with an East African company.

The deputy chief game warden of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park from 1956 to 1972 describes his years protecting the park and its wildlife from poachers and other dangers

Myles Turner's posthumous memoirs, edited by Brian Jackman and enhanced by Bob Kuhn's splendid drawings, rhapsodize the birth pangs of and interminable assaults on Tanzania's incomparable Serengeti National Park. All who are familiar with the Serengeti will find their appreciation of it amplified by Turner's intimate account of his experience as its deputy chief game warden from November 1956 to April 1972. Those for whom it remains a dream destination may embrace it vicariously as he immerses them by small plane, Land Rover, and on foot in its rich fabric of life. Zealous and unapologetic in his defense of its wildlife against poachers, bitter in his repudiation of the killing of its animals by scientific investigators, Turner was emotionally conjoined with the Serengeti. While the book's two maps are inadequate for locating many of the places detailed in Turner's recollections, referencing them affords the reader a general orientation in accompanying him throughout the park. This enthralling book conveys every sensation of what has justifiably been called "the last place on earth."

Mr TURNER describes the wild animals at home in the Serengeti.
Nature takes its course : surprises behind every corner.
Then the man comes in : poachers , opportunists of all kinds , tourists unaware ...
This book shows the measure of dedication required by a game warden. Professionnalism and scientific interest of the modern man just won't do.
The wildlife is described with sympathy . The animal was king in those days in Serengeti (1950 /1960' s)
