Description: This massive and detailed examination of history's greatest individual warriors was originally published by Paladin Press. Since that company went out of business, he now self-publishes an identical edition. Kirchner is also the author of The Deadliest Men, Dueling With the Sword and Pistol, Jim Cirillo's Tales of the Stakeout Squad, and Bowie Knife Fights, Fighters, and Fighting Techniques. Following up on Paladin best-seller The Deadliest Men, More of the Deadliest Men Who Ever Lived profiles more than three dozen of history's greatest individual warriors, including King David, John Wesley Hardin, George S. Patton, Richard the Lionheart, and Manfred von Richthofen, as well as such lesser known figures as:--Cassius Marcellus Clay, the abolitionist who was feared for his skill with the Bowie knife.--Joe Harrison, the San Francisco cab-driver who would pick up any fare, at any time, relying on his .41 magnum to keep him alive.--Kitty Hesselberger and Dorothy Raynes-Simson, who fought off a determined Mau Mau attack at their isolated Kenyan ranch.--Frank Reynolds, the Chicago Police officer who killed more than a dozen men in the line of duty and was said to be the only lawman John Dillinger feared.--R.J. Thomas, the Navy SEAL who single-handedly held off a North Vietnamese assault armed only with a .45 automatic.--Adelbert Waldron III, the Vietnam War sniper with the highest kill count of that conflict, but whose story has remained untold until now. Drawn from books, newspapers, and personal interviews, these action-packed accounts provide an insight into the skills, tactics, and mindset of some of the greatest fighting men and women the world has ever known. This is a paperback book, 455 pages, measuring 8.5" x 5.5".
