As a young boy, The Tiger Man would venture into the woods, following faint trails in search of these elusive creatures. He would wait for hours, skillfully camouflaged, until he could glimpse the bewitching golden coat and fierce eyes that inspired awe and reverence.

Years of observation and understanding led The Tiger Man to unlock the secrets of the tigers. He delved deep into their mysterious world, immersing himself in their rituals and learning their ways. Gradually, a bond of trust began to form between him and the otherwise untamed souls of the jungle.

Through countless nights spent sleeping under starlit skies and days spent in the shade of the mighty trees, The Tiger Man honed his abilities to communicate with these majestic felines. He discovered that the essence of connection lies in respecting their space, earning their trust, and embracing their instincts without forcing his own upon them.

One humid morning, as the sun pierced through the canopy, a magnificent tiger emerged from the depths of the jungle, its eyes locking with The Tiger Man's. It was a fierce creature, yet a flicker of curiosity danced in its piercing gaze. Time stood still as they measured each other's souls, and their fates intertwined forever.

From that day forward, The Tiger Man and his feline companion, named Raya, embarked on a journey that would galvanize their connection and redefine the limits of human-tiger relations. They traversed landscapes few dared to explore, revealing the harmony that can exist between man and nature, despite their apparent contradictions.

The Tiger Man's bond with his feline companion was not without its challenges. The duo encountered various obstacles in their quest to conserve the habitats of their feline brethren. They faced poachers, deforestation, and a world that often seemed indifferent to the plight of these magnificent creatures.

In the face of adversity, The Tiger Man's determination grew unwavering. His unyielding belief in the power of empathy and education spurred him to create awareness about the challenges faced by these endangered species. His work extended beyond conservation efforts and ventured into the realm of storytelling, where he hoped to ignite a fire within the hearts of those who might carry his legacy forward.

Numerous documentaries and publications have shed light on The Tiger Man's remarkable journey. Through these mediums, the world has embraced his cause, and awareness of the urgent need to protect these majestic creatures has spread far and wide. His story has become an emblem of hope, reminding us of the transformative power of connection and the ripple effect it can have on our world.

The Tiger Man's tale is a testament to the infinite possibilities that exist when humans embrace their bond with nature. It is a reminder that by understanding and respecting the delicate balance of our ecosystem, we can forge a future that harmonizes with the mesmerizing beauty that surrounds us.

As dusk settles in the heart of Vietnam's jungle, The Tiger Man and Raya find solace under the starry sky, their bond strong and unbreakable. In their presence, a profound lesson awaits those who dare to listen – the echoes of the wild, inviting us to reconnect with the untamed spirit that lies dormant within us all.

The Vietnamese hilltribes made him a demi-god. The CIA wanted to kill him. This is the remarkable true story of Australian war hero Barry Petersen.


As he flew over South East Asia towards Vietnam, Captain Barry Petersen struggled to keep an aura of calm. Inwardly he was incredibly excited. Aged 28, highly trained, with experience in anti-communist guerilla warfare, he was about to embark on the biggest and most important mission of his life.

In 1963, Australian Army Captain Barry Petersen was sent to Vietnam. It was one of the most tightly held secrets of the Vietnam War: long before combat troops set foot there and under the command of the CIA, Petersen was ordered to train and lead guerilla squads of Montagnard tribesmen against the Viet Cong in the remote Central Highlands.

Petersen successfully formed a fearsome militia, named 'Tiger Men'. A canny leader, he was courageous in battle, and his bravery saw him awarded the coveted Military Cross, and worshipped by the hill tribes.

But his success created enemies, not just within the Viet Cong. Like Marlon Brando's character in 'Apocolyse Now', some in the CIA saw Petersen as having gone native. His refusal, when asked, to turn his Tiger Men into assassins as part of the notorious CIA Phoenix Program only strengthened that belief. The CIA strongly resented anyone who stood in their way. Some in the US intelligence were determined Petersen had to go and he was lucky to make it out of the mountains alive.

The Tiger Man of Vietnam reveals the compelling true story of little-known Australian war hero Barry Petersen.
