Here is a great read by the old lion hunter himself,Ollie Barney. This tracks Ollie's life from his ranch raising in Arizona thru his bloody days in World War Two where he was a highly decorated soldier. to his business days as a contracter and as always his first love lion huning.

Oillie carved out a name in the books of lion hunting greats. No pretention about Ollie he called em as he saw them and he didn't mince words. He was also a world wide hunter on other continents and this is tracked in the book as well. A highly informative and very entertaining book. I found myself cracking up a number of times just knowing Ollie and the kind of character he is.

Amazon books has this one and I recommned it for a fun read.
