I highly recommend
Ruark as I knew him . If you're like me at the end you'll both admire him and his life and detest him for throwing it away by drinking himself to death.
What a waste. No doubt..
Just being helpful for those interested - the title of that book is
Ruark Remembered - By The Man Who Knew Him Best by Alan Richie, who was Ruark's personal secretary.
Another great book about Ruark is
A View From A Tall Hill by Terry Wieland.
These are both excellent, excellent books and anyone interested in Ruark should definitely acquire them.
