Biographie de l'auteur
Leonard David Stone was born and educated in Winnipeg Canada and now resides in Tampa, Florida. He holds degrees in Fine Arts and Education, and taught at the high school level; however, his long-time professional career had been in arts administration, having managed symphony orchestras in the United States and Canada. He lived in Arnhem, Holland and London, England in 1956 during which time he developed his earliest research for the novel Red Devil Rising including face-to-face interviews with many real-life characters in the novel. Since then he had maintained a keen interest in military history, principally the WW II airborne drop known as Market-Garden. Of Stone, Adrian Groeneweg, OBE, the former director of the Airborne Museum located in Oosterbeek, Holland on the outskirts of Arnhem said, He has chronicled the historical events as envisioned in his writer's imagination by breathing life into well researched facts... Stone has captured a certain flavor and spirit of those I had the privilege of knowing and still know...The interplay between his fictional characters and the real life participants rings true...I congratulate Stone on his life-long dedication and passion for their story. I recommend Red Devil Rising to anyone interested in the subject.

Soft cover. Etat : As New. Inscribed by author on title page; As New condition; Inspired by the true events at the Battle of Arnhem. The character David Gibson, through whose eyes most of the story is told, is based on the recollections of a British airborne soldier. The book encompasses the range of human feelings from the arrogant to the simple, from the strategist to the mud and blood soaked warriors, both German and British who killed each other separately, or schemed to save each other.
