In December 1985 Dr Dian Fossey's body was discovered at Karisoke, the research station where she had dedicated eighteen years to the study and preservation of the mountain gorilla. She struggled against ill-health, official opposition, personal tragedy and the isolation of Karisoke; her strength of will and her all-consuming passion for the gorillas earned her world-wide fame and respect, and kept her fighting to the end for the animals she called 'the greatest of the great apes'.
'No One Loved Gorillas More' is a powerful reminder of what Dian was fighting for: these impressive yet shy creatures are dramatically captured in the photographs by Bob Campbell, who worked closely with Dian for several years. Letters written by Dian bring to life the setbacks and rewards of her years with her primate relations, her daily life, work and relationships. Heartfelt, passionate and dramatic, this book provides a unique picture of a unique woman.
