Harry Black by David Walker

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1958. Bantam. 

The anatomy of a hero:

Harry Black was a loner, a male animal, hard, lean, sensual. If he believed in anything, it was violence. Yet women couldn't get enough of him, and men followed him anywhere. 
His expolits in combat were legendary. He led an impossible break to freedom from a German POW camp. He hunted man-eating tigers for sport, in India. He was a hero, a man without fault or shame, until he fell in love with his best friend's wife and found that life was more than conquest.

He was all man. Tough, resourceful, arrogant, and sometimes cruel. Harry Black triumphed in love and war, over every adversary but himself.

By Scottish-Canadian writer David Walker.
