'Thapar writes with a rare erudition, [and] a deep sense of respect and love for a species which has suffered so immensely by human depradation. He has a fine sense of observation, honed by a quarter-century of being in love with tigers, and a keen mind to explore little-known facts of the tiger's life. ... It is a book which every nature lover would like to keep for posterity.' -The Pioneer 'The Secret Life of Tigers fills a major void in Tiger lore. ... Thapar, in a period of observation lasting over a decade, has created an entirely new "science".' -Indian Review of Books
