1919. Illustrated. American journalist and novelist who covered wars all over the world. His vivid accounts made him one of the leading reporters of his day. Soldiers of Fortune begins: It is so good of you to come early, said Mrs. Porter, as Alice Langham entered the drawing-room. I want to ask a favor of you. I'm sure you won't mind. I would ask one of the debutantes, except that they're always so cross if one puts them next to men they don't know and who can't help them, and so I thought I'd just ask you, you're so good-natured. You don't mind, do you? See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
