A gripping work of natural history, Killer Sharks: How and Why They Attack Humans chronicles the terrifying reality of shark attacks on humans with scientific authority and visceral detail. Written by Victor Coppleson — a distinguished Australian surgeon who studied shark attack cases throughout his medical career — and fully updated by Peter Goadby, the book presents a comprehensive analysis of the behaviour, biology, and predatory instincts that drive sharks to attack. Coppleson argues persuasively for the existence of rogue sharks — individual animals that repeatedly target human prey — a theory that continues to spark debate among marine biologists and oceanographers. Drawing on decades of documented case studies from Australia and around the world, the text details the patterns and circumstances of attacks with chilling precision. Both a scientific inquiry and a compelling read, it remains a landmark study in the field of shark research and human-ocean interaction.
