SYNOPSIS: THEY COULD SURVIVE ANYTHING IN THE ARCTIC WILDERNESS-EXCEPT THE WHITE MAN. They were rich, the caribou were abundant. Their dogs were many and strong. The children in the tents were happy, and there was never any fear of going hungry. Then came the ruthless white man's civilization. And with it came slaughter of the herds, starvation of the flesh, and torture of the spirit. The Desperate People. Courageous, proud in their age-old way of life, and now fighting to save themselves from extinction. Farley Mowat, author of such distinguished books as People of the Deer, Never Cry Wolf, A Whale for the Killing, The Snow Walker, and Sea of Slaughter, has long been eloquent in his indictment of man's exploitation of human and non-human life on this planet. He was born in Belleville, Ontario, in 1921 and began writing for a living in 1949 after spending two years in the Arctic. He has lived in or visited almost every part of Canada and many other lands. More than ten million copies of Farley Mowat's books have been translated and published in hundreds of editions in over forty countries.
