What really goes on in the mind of a trophy hunter?
It’s a question that has haunted animal lovers and conservationists for years — and one that author Eduardo Gonçalves finally sets out to answer in his most explosive book yet, 20 Elephants in 75 Minutes.
For the first time ever, the world’s most prolific trophy hunters are profiled in detail. This book doesn’t just name them — it exposes the staggering number of animals they’ve killed, the contents of their jaw-dropping trophy rooms, and their own chilling accounts of their “most memorable” hunts.
“20 Elephants in 75 Minutes” — A Glimpse Into a Disturbing World
In the book’s powerful foreword, Priscilla Presley writes:
“Eduardo Gonçalves’ tireless work over the years has exposed the rottenness at the heart of this cruel industry, and has inspired some nations to introduce restrictions. ‘20 Elephants in 75 Minutes’ will surely help bring this barbaric practice to a crashing end, once and for all.”
This is Gonçalves’ sixth book on the trophy hunting industry — and his most shocking yet. It reveals the identities of more than 300 members of Safari Club International (SCI) who have each killed over 100 animals, and lists 800 hunters who have shot all five of Africa’s most iconic species: the lion, elephant, rhinoceros, leopard, and buffalo.
It also uncovers the names of SCI’s biggest donors, some of whom have contributed over $1 million to keep the blood sport alive.
Praise from the World’s Leading Voices
Gonçalves’ groundbreaking work has earned international acclaim:

“If this doesn’t get trophy hunting banned, I don’t know what will.” – Judi Dench
The Hunters’ Own Words
20 Elephants in 75 Minutes takes readers directly inside the disturbing mindset of trophy hunters — through their own boasts and diary entries.
From claims like “I shot it through the left eye blowing out the back of the skull” to “My lungs were bellows fanning the fire of desire for this trophy”, the book captures their unfiltered obsession with killing.
One hunter proudly recalls, “My personal record is 20 elephants in 75 minutes.”
Another describes their home as “a trophy house — our children have grown up amongst our trophies.”
It’s an unflinching look at how cruelty is normalised, commercialised, and even celebrated in certain circles.
