UNREPENTANT SINNER
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF
COLONEL CHARLES ASKINS

TEJANO PUBLICATIONS: SAN ANTONIO
1985

Colonel Askins is an adventurer. Whether it be fighting his way out of an ambush, hunting tiger in Asia or sniping along the Rhine, Askins has done it with gusto. Here he recounts his early days as a forest ranger, his decade of slinging lead on the Mexican border, his astounding success as a competitive pistol shot, his combat participation in World War II, his adventures as a paratrooper in Vietnam and his career as one of the world's leading big-game hunters.

In this autobiographical work spanning decades of military service and sporting adventures, Askins recalls his hunts in South Africa for oryx; Kenya after eland; buffalo in Rhodesia; Botswana for lion; and sable in Zambia. (Czech, Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books.)
