Why read it?

1 author picked Black Ops and Beaver Bombing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book made me laugh out loud. It is about our native British mammals, the water voles, beavers, badgers, boar, and others, and the efforts of those trying to save them or reintroduce them to our Isles.

It is by turns hilarious, scathing, blunt, and powerful, written by two people who have devoted their lives to our furry friendsA must-read for anyone interested in British wildlife.
