Book desription: Harrisburg, Pa. ,: Stackpole Books. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1966. First American Edition. Hardcover. 256 pages, plates, maps, cloth, DJ, very good. Translated by H. Eaton Hart. From the dust jacket: "George Blond, the distinguished French historian whose Verdun told the dramatic story of that World War I battle, here evokes the tragic world of 1914 and the carnage in which the French suffered losses of 329,000 men killed and missing during these months of August and September alone (for comparison, the U. S. Lost 232,000 men in all of World War II! )." From the collection of Laurence Dring and with his business card "Soldier of fortune specializing in civil wars". From the Soldier of Fortune obituary by Jim Graves: "Lawrence W. Dring II, whose almost legendary career in Special Forces was described in a three-part Soldier of Fortune magazine series - February, March and April 1982 - died 25 August 1983 of a seizure and heart attack caused by complications from wounds he suffered in Vietnam. In four tours in Vietnam - most of it with MIKE Forces (Mobile Guerrilla Force) in the Central Highlands - Dring carved out a career as a soldier that frankly, I don't know who could match. Dring started out as an enlisted man and came out in 1968 as a captain. Along the way he earned, among other decorations, many of the medals grunts have respect for: two Silver Stars, four Bronze Stars, two Soldier's Medals, the Cambodian Medaille Militaire, four Vietnamese Crosses of Gallantry and five Purple Hearts." CHS3 ; 256 pages .
