William Wasserman, a one-man wrecking crew who routinely confronted hostile, armed poachers in the backwoods of Pennsylvania and brought them to justice, writes about his encounters with outlaw hunters in a gritty, heart-pounding style that is sure to keep you captivated.

Poacher Wars is an intense, well-written account about a true wildlife warrior and his fight against the criminals who plunder our natural resources. As a Pennsylvania Game Warden, Wasserman patrolled four hundred square miles of rugged mountain terrain where he investigated thousands of game law violations and arrested many violent career poachers.

This fascinating, true-life book contains sixteen chapters about some of the most dangerous and unpredictable men Wasserman encountered during his 32 years as a state game warden.
