5.0 out of 5 stars
Compelling, entertaining, informative...,
By Larry Jay Martin (Clinton, MT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For Love of Wildness: The Journal of A U.S. Game Management Agent (Paperback)
After reading Wildlife Wars, I wondered if Terry Grosz could keep up the pace with a new set of memories and fascinating law enforcement experiences. Not to worry. For Love of Wildness takes you into a world almost never visited by even those of us who love the outdoors. Seldom does one who possesses a depth of knowledge in one field of endeavor, rise to be able to chronicle that knowledge and experience in an entertaining and compelling manner. Grosz has risen above all but a very few professional authors. Don't miss this one! Larry Jay Martin, author The Last Stand

A True Professional,
By John Tate (Evansville, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For Love of Wildness: The Journal of A U.S. Game Management Agent (Paperback)
After reading Mr. Grosz' first book, Wildlife Wars, I couldn't wait to get his next one. For Love of Wildness exceeded my expectations and now I am looking forward to reading his new book. The main reason I found it so enjoyable is because the passion with which the Mr. Grosz conducted himself while carrying out his profession comes through in his writing. I felt like I was right beside him during his adventures. For a busy person, it is an easy book to read because each chapter is independent of the others and can be read as time permits. The problem is you want to keep reading. When I completed this book, I was sorry I that was finished.

For anyone with interest in wildlife and conservation issues,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For Love of Wildness: The Journal of A U.S. Game Management Agent (Paperback)
Terry Grosz was a conservation officer for the California and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for more than thirty years. His first memoir, Wildlife Wars, covered his early life. For Love Of Wilderness: The Journal Of A U.S. Game Management Agent begins with his move from the state to the federal levels, where his cases were bigger and more complex. Grosz's stories are as infused with his love of wildlife and enjoyment of the great outdoors as they are action- packed and totally engaging. In these memoirs Grosz makes a repeated point that our failure to protect our fragile natural resources is the same as stealing from our children, and our children's children. For Love Of Wilderness is a superbly presented, candid and engaging autobiography that will also have immense appeal to anyone with an interest in wildlife and conservation issues.
