I had begun to suspect that I was the last one.

Actually, now that I think about it, I am pretty sure that it was the head of Hailer Publishing who was lobbied by General Petraeus to reissue "The Centurions", as JCB IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490081362549015107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-85707048149137053532011-03-01T14:40:43.651-08:002011-03-01T14:40:43.651-08:00Thanks for the notice, though this is sad news.

Getting a copy of The Praetorians was a lot harder, but it has been put back into print by Hailer publishing (http://www.hailerpublishing.com/praetorians.html)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4836956334020662322.post-32269675639351315352011-02-25T10:05:59.868-08:002011-02-25T10:05:59.868-08:00Greetings Jean-Luc:
