Soldier For Hire
Red Cushing

1962, Calder, London,  Hard Cover with Dust Jacket, 295p, First Edition

IRA messenger at 10, boy soldier at 13, imprisoned for revolutionary activity at 14, Red Cushing's unorthodox military training begins in earnest in the US Army at 16 and continues in the International Brigade in Spain and later in a number of British regiments. Throughout his checkered career he meets with an incredible series of adventures and misadventures, promotions and demotions, friendly and dead-earnest fights and competitive drinking bouts in Ireland, America, China, South America, spain, France, Germany, Korea, Palestine and almost every other country in the world.

Embroiled in five wars, three revolutions and as many counter-revolutions, Sergeant (now Corporal) Cushing relates his experiences as a warrior, a prize-fighter, practical joker, revolutionary, gun-runner, prisoner of war and a comically unco-operative enemy agent. Shrewd, cynical, tough and at times engagingly irresponsible, he sails through any kind of trouble with a disarming blend of blarney and belligerence.....from the blurb.


Quite scarce, wear tears and chipping to dust jacket, curve to front cover, spotting and foxing to endpapers, 
good condition.
