Night of the Grizzlies by Jack Olsen
This book details the first two grizzly related deaths in Glacier National Park, both on the same night in 1967. Written by acclaimed journalist Jack Olsen, it's is a fascinating insight into the National Park Service's understanding of the grizzly threat to man over 40 years ago. Before these killings, one would have been forgiven for thinking that grizzlies were a potential nuisance to man rather than a danger. While it's heavier on background than action, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's still a relatively popular read, and it led me to Grizzly Man. While Grizzly Man has been and will be, no doubt, easily parodied, it is a deeply moving story for anyone who loves animals.
