The Devil Soldier is a thrilling, masterfully researched biography of the kind of adventurer the world no longer sees. Praise for The Devil Soldier “If ever a book of history were made for the movies, Caleb Carr's The Devil Soldier is it.”—Chicago Tribune “Good, thorough, scholarly but absorbing.”—Edward Rice, author of Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton  aBiography & Autobiography  cENGLISH  c577742d577742  00104070aACLbACLc7Bd2025-07-28l0o951.034092 CARp421039r2025-07-28 15:43:42w2025-07-28yENGLISH
