Kill or Be Killed

Brought to you from the Peter Capstick Library.

Major W. Robert Foran once killed a lion while "garbed in dinner clothes and patent leather shoes" in the days when it was still possible to meet simba in the streets of Nairobi. He hunted the big five of the dangerous game, experienced many close shaves in the process. Buckley served in the Boer War, and in the British East Africa Police, a paramilitary group that blazed a rough trail through Kenya's early days. He survived injury and disease, and covered Theodore Roosevelt's famous safari for the Associated Press. His vigorous book is an extremely rare and pungent look at the side of wildest Africa that no longer exists.
