Serengeti Shall Not Die is closely associated with the acclaimed wildlife documentary of the same name and reflects the Grzimeks’ dedication to understanding and preserving the Serengeti. Michael Grzimek tragically lost his life in an aircraft accident during their conservation work, adding a poignant historical dimension to this remarkable publication.
Originally translated from German by E. L. and D. Rewald, this 1960 English edition was published by Hamish Hamilton in London and includes an introduction by Alan Moorehead. Illustrated with photographs and featuring maps, Serengeti Shall Not Die provides a valuable historical perspective on African wildlife research and conservation during the mid-twentieth century.
With its distinctive zebra-patterned hardcover binding, Serengeti Shall Not Die remains a desirable addition to collections of Africana, African wildlife books, natural history, conservation literature and vintage exploration publications.
