In A Certain Curve of Horn, veteran journalist John Frederick Walker tells the story of one of the most revered and endangered of the regal beasts of Africa: the giant sable antelope of Angola, a majestic, coalblack quadruped with breathtaking curved horns over five feet long. It is an enthralling and tragic tale of exploration and adventure, politics and war, the brutal realities of life in Africa today and the bitter choices of conflicting conservation strategies.A Certain Curve of Horn traces the sables emergence as a highly soughtafter natural history prize before the First World War, and follows its struggle to survive in a war zone fought over by the troops of half a dozen nations, and its transformation into a political symbol and conservation icon. As he follows the trail of this mysterious animal, Walker interweaves the stories of the adventurers, scientists, and warriors who have come under the thrall of the beast, and how their actions would shape the fate of the giant sable antelope and the history of the wartorn nation that is its only home.

I enjoyed learning about the Giant Sable Antelope, but some sections felt a bit drawn out. It’s a good read for those interested in African wildlife and conservation efforts, just be prepared for a slower pace in parts.

Beautifully Illustrated but Lacking Engagement
The illustrations of the antelope are stunning, but I found the narrative a little dry and hard to follow. Great visuals, though! Would've loved more engaging storytelling to go along with it.
