This is the true story of two deadly lions that, in 1898, would come to terrorize the construction of Britain's Uganda Railway in the heart of Kenya. A firsthand account by John Henry Patterson, the railroad engineer who would ultimately hunt and kill the lions, The Man Eaters of Tsavo details the pair's lethal attacks on a number of unfortunate construction workers. Estimated to have claimed 135 victims, the maneaters of Tsavo are still on display in Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History and served as inspiration to the film The Ghost and the Darkness. This work remains the authoritative account on their brief, but costly reign of terror.
