Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

John Burger reminisces about his most exciting tales in this fascinating book, taking the reader hot on the trail of the buffalo, lion, elephant, and leopard. Recorded from observations made during a period of more than thirty years, Burger shows that the "king of the beasts," in spite of his awesome reputation and dominant character, is actually one of the most vulnerable animals in the grim struggle for survival. The narrative covers a wide area, stretching from the Congo forest to the Abyssinian border, and each country contributes its quota of thrills and exciting adventures.
