What should have been a routine engineering assignment soon turned into one of the most famous man-eating lion incidents in history. Two enormous male lions began attacking the railway workers' camps at night, dragging men from their tents and spreading fear across the entire construction project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this gripping firsthand narrative, Patterson recounts the months of terror that followed as the lions repeatedly outwitted traps, guards, and hunters. Workers fled the site, construction halted, and rumors spread throughout East Africa of supernatural beasts haunting the railway line. Determined to end the attacks, Patterson undertook a relentless campaign to track and destroy the predators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart adventure narrative, part historical document, \u003cem\u003eThe Man-Eaters of Tsavo\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of the great classics of big-game literature.
