Jack Girsham is a legendary figure in his native Burma an din the neighboring Indian province of Assam. In his long career as a game ranger and jungle man, Jack has faced every kind of danger, from rogue elephants and man-eating tigers to enemy commandos during World War II.  This book is Burma Jack's own story, as told to and edited by another great adventurer, Lowell Thomas.Born of an English father and a Burmese mother, Jack has witnessed the slow transformation of India and Burma from pillars of Empire to independent nations. But the heart of this story is Jack's experience in another country: the dim, mysterious, vanishing jungle of Southeast Asia.At twelve Jack was stalking marsh fowl in the Burmese hills around Maymyo. At twenty he was riding log rafts from the teak forests down the Irrawaddy to the Bay of Bengal.  These experiences prepared Jack for his encounters with dangerous game, for as he explains it: You didn't become a big game hunter in Burma just by going out into the jungle with a heavy rifle...You had to have a feeling for the place and the people and the animals. You had to known how to live off the land for weeks on end...In short, you had to know Burma."Jack's narrative is a superb collection of authentic adventure stories. His perilous encounters with tigers, boards, and cobras are all the more impressive in that no effort is made to embellish the plain facts.
