TIGER! TIGER! By Arjan Singh.
1984 1st edition. Paperback. Pp218. Colour and b/w photographs, bibliography.
"In this wide-ranging historical survey [the author] shows that it was the Victorian British who gave the tiger its bad name: always trying to kill it, they saw the animal only when it was being threatened, and so described it as a cruel and ravening monster. This attitude,continuing until far into the present [20th] century, reduced tigers to the verge of extinction. Not until the launch of Project Tiger in the early 1970's did the tide begin to turn". Sequel to the author's 1973 Tiger Haven.
