Synopsis

“A provocative and masterfully told account of an event that made pro wrestling an entertainment mushroom cloud.” — Tim Graham, The Athletic
		 
“A must-read book — an irresistible force of modern wrestling history.” — Tom Fordy, The Telegraph
		 
Greenberg lays bare how WrestleMania III legitimized wrestling as entertainment and reshaped the industry, offering insight and perspective from those closest to the event 
		 
On an overcast day in 1987, the pro wrestling landscape was altered forever when a reported 93,173 fans converged on the Pontiac Silverdome outside Detroit to see Hulk Hogan defend his championship against André the Giant. 
		 
BIGGER! BETTER! BADDER! is the story behind Wrestlemania III, told from the perspective of company executives, wrestlers who appeared on the card, fans who attended the show, and other wrestling personalities. But Keith Elliot Greenberg also examines the entire industry at the time, including insights from representatives from the rival promotions Vince McMahon was putting out of business as pro wrestling transitioned from a regional phenomenon into the international juggernaut it is today.

    Her first night in a Tanzanian tent began with a prowling lion’s roar. Will the savage terrors open her eyes to an unseen world? 
    Sue Tidwell lived in awe of Africa’s extraordinary wildlife. After years spent appreciating the animals in her imagination, the tenderhearted American hated the idea of joining her husband on a big game hunt. And getting attacked by blood-sucking tsetse flies the moment she stepped off the plane gave no hint of the mind-blowing change of perspective in her future…  
    With her initial animosity turning into curiosity as they breathlessly tracked dangerous beasts, Sue formed a surprising bond with their young, female, government-assigned game scout. And as she became entranced by the tales and wisdom from the Masimba Camp crew, she was humbled by the mystery of the vilified safari and the people who relied on it for survival.  
    Supplementing her own experiences on the elephant-rutted roads with local insights and scientific research into conservation efforts, Tidwell explores how her preconceived beliefs sluiced away under the deluge of reality. And with an evocative narrative peppered with self-deprecating humor, vivid imagery, and over ninety photos and illustrations, you’ll emerge forever changed by the truths this greenhorn found buried in a rugged and romantic landscape. 
    Cries of the Savanna is an unflinching and passionate memoir. If you like awe-inspiring adventures, truth revealed through laughter, and life being stranger than fiction, then you'll adore Sue Tidwell's brush with the wild.

    NOTE: The audible version of Cries of the Savanna includes guest narration by Lilian Mremi, the Tanzanian Game Scout featured in the book, as well as the LITERAL cries of the savanna -- lions, hyenas, hippos, elephants, leopards, baboons and more.
