Encounters With Lions

1994 Ca 302pp. Over 100 photos. 5½x8½ inch format. Fierce or friendly, no one ever takes a lion for granted. When man and lion meet the situation can be fierce, fatal, frightening or humorous. Lions once had Africa all to themselves. Then, make way for man! That is when the lions hit back with every tooth, claw and pound. The hunters who recount their stories have seen generous lions on top of them and fierce ones below. Contributions by Tony Dyer, Anthony Seth-Smith, John Sutton, Terry Mathews, etc. When the last story of Africa has been written,someone will judge the white hunter, a figure romantic in fiction and fascinating in fact. These men accept responsibility for the safety of their clients and yet guarantee excitement without danger, thrills without spills, sport without risk.”
