I've been reading "Facing The Charge-African Dangerous Game" by Michael J. Miller. Picked it up from the Sporting Classics Store after first reading an excerpt from the book in the latest Sporting Classics Magazine. If you haven't read the book-you all should. Fantastic reading combined exquisite writing from Miller's 63 African Safaris, starting back in the late 70's and forward. Miller's stories, as told to Scott T. Longman, with a foreward by Fiona Capstick. Highly recommended and a bargain at $22 USD. Some of the best African reading and stories I've ever been privileged to enjoy.

You mean an actual, proper, African professional hunter who does NOT walk up to a half dead buffalo, even a ten year old kid can kill, and ask it how he wanted to die??

Bloody hell.

By the sounds of it, well worth reading! clap

Sounds very good. Is/was the author a PH?

Can be expensive reading.

As I originally said, and as Bama15 subsequently points out, buy it on Sporting Classic for $22. The Author is not a PH.

Just finished it. Well worth the read, well worth the money. Great reading throughout, with an amazing story and tribute near the end of the book regarding the late PH Andre De Kock who Mike had Safari'd with 33 times before Andre was murdered in cold blood in Tanzania. Also a great tribute to Mike's favorite tracker, Simon, who actually saved Mike's life at one point in time. tu2

Mike is also an incredible Jeweler, has spectacular displays at Dallas and SCI.I have purchased many great pieces for my wife from Mike over the years, always special custom pieces...
Also a great patriot. He sponsored Charlie Kirk's education and his foundation...TURNING POINT USA.
Mike is a Pharmacist by profession. He started selling jewelry in the drug store, with a good old fashioned soda fountain too...
His hunting career is well chronicled in his book... is the envy and only a dream for most hunters!! His stories are infectious and well written... ENJOY!!

Yes, he also talks briefly about his profession as a pharmacist, the jewelry connection (including the story about a major theft of precious jewels that he had in, I believe, a suitcase,) etc. I didn't know about his connection with Charlie Kirk and Turning Point, USA. Very interesting! tu2

Was able to order one just now from Sporting Classics at the $22 price - they had 18 left, I believe. Thanks for alerting me, I always like to add quality books to my Africana collection.
