For thousands of years, humans have found themselves vulnerable to
plagues of desert locusts. Some fifty countries in Africa, the
Middle East and Asia have been ravaged, at one time or another, by
huge, devouring swarms of locusts. With the consequent, often
total, destruction of crops and grazing, widespread hunger and
starvation ensued. Colin Everard's book takes as its geographical
focus the Horn of Africa, an area which throughout history has
suffered catastrophically from locust plagues. Based on his own
extensive experience in the region, Everard describes one of the
greatest (albeit unsung) triumphs of the twentieth century, namely,
how the desert locust scourge has, at last, been virtually brought
under control.
