For thousands of years, humans have found themselves vulnerable to
plagues of desert locusts. Some 50 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 20th century, namely, how the
desert locust scourge has, at last, been virtually brought under
control.
