How the book was put together; praise for fellow authors
This book was the completion of a life-long fascination with raids and raiders. I dreamt up the concept, wrote the introduction and two chapters, and got some of the best writers working in the field of Military History to lend a hand. People like Mike Dilley, Wade Dudley, Tim Kutta, Rob Krott, Steven Hartov, Charles Whiting, Stephen Tanner, Janis Cakars, James Aldrich, George Cholewczynski, Ray Wood, Richard Kiper and Fritz Heinzen. What a crew! This is an all-star team, and I greatly enjoyed working with them. The vitality and talent in the field of Military History has to be seen to be believed, and these guys are all consumate pros, as well as gracious gentlemen and exacting scholars. I like careful research and hell's-a'poppin' action in my reading, and that accounts for the way this book reads. The audacity and courage shown by the great raiders is astounding, and Mr. Heinzen's thoughtful conclusion, "The Future of Raids," is a breathtaking analysis of the potential for these daring actions. My hat is off to a great group of writers who helped me follow my dream, and to Sarpedon Publishers, who had the vision to green light the project.
