One Day as a Tiger is a brilliant read on so many different levels; a vivid and perceptive biography of one of the most talented and innovative climbers of his generation, but going much further to unveil a forgotten story which encompasses the breathtaking confidence of the anarchic and dynamic climbing culture that grew up during the cold war on both sides of the Iron Curtain.—Chris Bonington, author of Chris Bonington’s Everest
Porter's writing is uncluttered and effortless ... capturing an extraordinary time when alpinism was dangerous and rebellious. I wholeheartedly recommend this excellent book.—Ian Parnell, Climb Magazine
This book, which is full of humour and anecdotes, is written with exceptional liveliness. It is among the great books of alpinism.—Vertical Magazine
