About the Author
Erik Durschmied was born in Vienna in 1930. After the Second World War he emigrated to Canada. A television war correspondent for the BBC and CBS, Durschmied covered every major crisis, from Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Belfast, Beirut, Chile, to Cuba and Afghanistan. Winner of numerous awards, Newsweek wrote 'Durschmied is a supremely gifted reporter who has transformed the media he works in.' And in Le Monde: 'He's survived more battles than any living general.' Erik has just been appointed Professor of Military History at The Military Academy of Austria. He lives in Paris and Provence with his family.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover, 6½" x 9½", with dust jacket 468 pages Packed with heroic deeds (with no immediate witness) and exploits hidden from public view (for political convenience), here are ten true accounts of little-known people who have shaped our history - A US pilot held out against impossible odds in a clapped-out aircraft in 1941; a British battalion against an entire army in Korea 1951; and the sergeant who, in 1916, blundered into an 'impregnable fortress' and took it single-handedly. Some dared to stand up to injustice, fight hypocrisy, or pay a bitter price for remaining true to their principles. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 35556
