In the wild heart of Africa, one man's fight to save the land nearly cost him everything.

In the mid-1950s, Allan Savory was a young biologist in a corner of Africa where the bush reverberated with trumpeting elephants and bellowing hippos, and the politics were as dangerous as the wildlife. Over the next three decades, he would become a soldier and tracker in a brutal civil war, a member of Parliament fighting to end it, and an exiled ecologist challenging the world's most sacred environmental beliefs. Savory's insistence that livestock—not their removal—could heal degraded land sparked both breakthroughs and outrage. Branded a heretic, pursued by political enemies, and scarred by personal loss, he pressed on, convinced the future of humanity depended on restoring our life-supporting habitat. UnSavory is the untold story behind Holistic Management—woven through encounters with man-eating lions, political betrayal, and a lifelong battle with the "common sense" that destroys the natural world. It is a front-row seat to Southern Africa's turbulent history and one man's stubborn, improbable quest to change the fate of the earth.
