"Starting with his own heart-pounding train trip through Serbia in the late 1990s, Christopher S. Stewart launches the reader into the dark, bloody world of Serb paramilitaries. HUNTING THE TIGER is a fast, terrifying read that manages to
penetrate one of the most violent and secretive organizations in the world. I don’t
know how he did it…I’m just glad it wasn’t me."

“A chilling, eye-opening account of a madman who deserves a choice seat in the pantheon of the 20th-century's most evil criminals.”

"An irresistible story about a totally repellent man. Christopher S. Stewart's great achievement is to help us understand how a man so ruthless, savage, and
worthless as Arkan could dazzle and excite so many people in his wounded,
twisted nation. You keep turning the pages through amazing stories about mad
heists, lust, greed, and massacres, shaking your head and wondering how this
could have gone on, not so long ago or far away."

-- SCOTT SIMON, NPR, author of PRETTY BIRDS

"In a book that combines meticulous investigative journalism with the tone of a
well-written thriller, Christopher S. Stewart charts the astonishing rise and fall of
'Arkan the Tiger,' one of the most infamous of modern war criminals. In the
process, he has cast a brilliant light onto an ominous phenomenon that is occurring
in many of today's war zones: the blurring of the line between 'patriot' and gangster, soldier and psychopath. His book should be essential reading not only for those
who wish to understand what happened in the Balkans in the 1990s, but for anyone seeking to grasp why the 'modern' battlefield has become so savage."

"In the groundbreaking HUNTING THE TIGER, author Christopher S. Stewart has
done the impossible in uncovering the secret truth that lies behind the hall-of-mirrors
life of gangster, folk hero, assassin, and international war criminal Zeljko 'Arkan' Raznatovic. Part gripping biography, part white-knuckle investigation, it reads as a
pure thrill ride as the reader follows Stewart as he tracks down and finally reveals
the true face of one of history's most awesomely terrifying villains."

“Through dogged reporting across former Yugoslavia, Christopher S. Stewart gives
us a riveting story of one Europe's most notorious gangsters -- Arkan, a real-life
villain with a baby-face who moved seamlessly from pulling off bank heists to orchestrating war crimes -- that reads more like an Ian Fleming novel than a work
of contemporary non-fiction. In so doing, Stewart provides unprecedented insight i
nto the insane life of a state-sponsored criminal who was behind some of the worst atrocities Europe has witnessed since the Second World War.”
