title: Augusts in Africa: Safaris into the Twilight: Forty Years of Essays and Stories
author: Thomas McIntyre
description: "Beautifully written . . . [McIntyre's] experiences in Africa have been some of the most transformative of his long hunting career, and his affection for the continent suffuses these stories and transports the reader along on his expeditions." (Diana Rupp <i><i>Sports Afield</i></i>)<br /><br />"Tommy McIntyre's <i>August in Africa</i> is such a book. I'm confident when I say it is his best book. Despite my love for that little Asian gem, <i>A Snow Leopard's Tale</i>, it is one of the two or three best books written about Africa by an American. Maybe in time, its autumnal tone will make it the best. If you have any interest in Africa at all, try this book and read his prologue. If you don't like that, I'll give you your money back." (Stephen Bodio <i><i>Querencia</i></i>)<br /><br />"McIntyre has a mastery of language that helps put us there far better than most other writers, even such vaunted names as Robert Ruark and Ernest Hemingway, but Augusts isnt just a story of hunting successes and failures. Instead its a look at the human condition." (John Barsness <i><i>Rifle Loony News</i></i>)
