Synopsis
A frontline memoir of lion hunts, frontier loyalties, and survival on the Tunisian border.
Set against the harsh realities of the Tunisian frontier, this memoir follows a seasoned observer as he joins a mission to hunt a feared lion. The narrative moves through camps, markets, and river crossings, painting a vivid portrait of life among soldiers, tribes, and officials on the edge of empire. It blends danger, bravado, and moments of quiet observation to reveal a world where survival hinges on quick wits and hard-won trust.
Readers meet a cast of characters—from a renowned lion-killer to wary Bedouin leaders—and witness how demands of duty, loyalty, and honor shape daily life. The book captures both the spectacle of hunting and the textured details of frontier governance, conflict, and occasional mischief that punctuate life on the march.
- Experiences of hunting and negotiation on a volatile frontier.
- Character portraits of soldiers, tribal leaders, and local officials.
- Vivid scenes of camps, markets, and daily rituals on the edge of empire.
- A historical, roadside view of loyalty, bravery, and survival under pressure.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Who in the Reveil first gave a hearty welcome to these recollections of my life as a soldier in A frica, and by whose advice I first undertook the task of putting them in shape. The credit for them, if credit there is any, belongs therefore to him, who has also worn as a volunteer the honourable garb of a soldier, that fools and cowards try, and always have tried, to turn into ridicule.
