In the heart of colonial Kenya, two maneless lions stalked the night, dragging men from their tents and spreading terror through the Tsavo region. Between March and December of 1898, these predators killed dozens of railway workers, halting construction on the British railway and capturing international attention. The Tsavo Man-Eaters: A True Account of Terror and Survival dives deep into the chilling history of the infamous lions that came to be known as "The Ghost" and "The Darkness." This book explores firsthand reports, historical documents, and modern scientific analysis to uncover the truth behind the attacks, the motivations of the lions, and the relentless hunt led by Colonel John Henry Patterson. From the haunted camps along the Tsavo River to the preserved remains in Chicago's Field Museum, this gripping narrative reveals how myth, fear, and fact intertwine in one of the most extraordinary true stories of man versus beast ever recorded.
