Kirchner does an excellent job of telling the stories behind the world's deadliest combatants. Although some of the names were unfamiliar to me, all of them were exciting to read about.
This was my first introduction to the story of Lance Thomas, the California jeweler who survived five armed robberies. Many of the robbers cannot make the same claim. A quote from Mr. Thomas sums up the mindset of many of the men and women in this book - Q: "How could you keep shooting - fighting back - with a bullet wound in the neck and three bullets in the shoulder?" A: "They hadn't killed me yet and I handn't run out of ammunition."
Great book. Only drawback was it wasn't longer and didn't include many contemporary names. More law enforcement/military names would have been a great addition, i.e. Bill Jordan, William Fairbairn, Eric Sykes, Rex Applegate, etc... Perhaps he will come out with a Version #2 someday. |
