Vicki Croke chronicles the extraordinary life of James Howard Williams, a British colonial officer who forged an unprecedented bond with Asian elephants in the teak forests of Burma. During the chaos of World War II, Williams leveraged his deep understanding of these intelligent creatures to organize a vital elephant corps, ultimately rescuing refugees and soldiers from the advancing Japanese army.
