Charles Sweeny was the heir to a fortune, but instead of a life of comfort, he became a warrior for causes he believed in. This richly detailed book uses Sweeny's personal papers, historical documents and photos to tell the amazing true story of America's most celebrated soldier of fortune, who was a life-long friend of Ernest Hemingway and a role model for the novelist's fictional manly heroes.
