Excellent! Rich with the history of a country that we hear very little about, Burma, it's the biography of one man who worked in the teak business during the years post WWI and into the beginning and duration of WWII. You learn about the climate, the native people and especially the elephants. Their anatomy, their personalities, and their exceptional intelligence are all a large part of the story. Fascinating! I enjoyed it very much! D.
