    A few that come to mind right off the get go are;

    African Rifles and Cartridges by John 'Pondoro' Taylor, a classic describing the various armaments used by an Ivory poacher in Africa before WWII. Chock full of action in the field with various game animals.

    Into Thin Air by Jan Krakauer, an account of the tragic 1996 climbing expedition on Everest.

    Death In The Afternoon, by Ernest Hemingway. An non fiction account of the bullfight in pre WWII Spain by the former newsman turned novelist.
