Publisher's Synopsis
For many years, Geoffrey C. Ward, who grew up in India, has returned to visit the Indian jungles, drawn by their beauty, and the mystery and power of the great, endangered predator who has always ruled them - the tiger. In this personal, illustrated book, he evokes the special appeal of India's forests, and describes his encounters with some of the tiger wallahs - men who have struggled against overwhelming odds to save the species from extinction. Geoffrey C. Ward is the author of "The Civil War", "American Originals", "A First-Class Temperament" and "Before the Trumpet".
