The Man-eaters of Tsavo is a book written by John Henry Patterson in 1907 that recounts his experiences while overseeing the construction of a railroad bridge in what would become Kenya.
The book has been adapted to film three times: a monochrome, British film of the 1950s, a 1952 3-D film titled Bwana Devil, and a 1996 color version called The Ghost and the Darkness, where Val Kilmer played the daring engineer who hunts down the lions of Tsavo..
Several publications about and studies of the man-eating lions of Tsavo have been inspired by Patterson\'s account.
It is most widely known for recounting the story of a pair of lions that he killed, known as the Tsavo maneaters.
