Real Soldiers of Fortune is a non-fiction book written by Richard Harding Davis, first published in 1906. The book is a collection of Davis's personal experiences and observations of soldiers of fortune, or mercenaries, who fought in various conflicts around the world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is divided into seven chapters, each focusing on a different region or conflict. These include the Cuban War of Independence, the Boer War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Philippine-American War. Davis provides vivid descriptions of the battles, the soldiers involved, and the political and social contexts of each conflict. Throughout the book, Davis portrays the soldiers of fortune as complex and fascinating characters, driven by a variety of motives, including adventure, patriotism, and financial gain. He also explores the ethical and moral implications of their actions, particularly in the context of the changing global political landscape of the time. Real Soldiers of Fortune is a compelling and insightful account of a little-known aspect of military history, written by a journalist who was himself a witness to many of the conflicts he describes. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of warfare, international relations, or the lives of soldiers and adventurers.1912.
