Gargantuan
Gunsite Gossip 3
by Jeff Cooper
Illustrated by Paul Kirchner JEFF COOPER “... was a lifelong student with a passion to impart
knowledge. He was the ultimate teacher. In the Marine Corps, (he)
learned to write and he came to understand that ‘if you don't write it
down, it never happened!’ Thus he formed the habit of writing down his
experiences, his studies of various and sundry things and his thoughts
and opinions of what he learned from it all. It is a blessing for his
posterity that he did so.”
—Lindy Cooper Wisdom, from "A Tribute to my Father"
Gargantuan Gunsite Gossip Volume 3 is the third and final volume of the
series. It covers the years 2001 through 2006, marking the 26th year of
monthly issues of Jeff Cooper's newsletter. This volume is particularly
interesting in that it covers the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the
subsequent conduct of America's military and cultural response.
The Gunsite Gossip newsletters contained Jeff Cooper's thoughts on
firearms, training trends, the activities of friends and associates,
analyses of real-world firearm techniques as he received firsthand data
from the field, philosophical musings, cultural commentaries, literary
reviews, thoughts on Nature, hunting, morality, ethics, and political
and social trends in modern America.
These writings provide an invaluabe insight into the mind of Colonel
Cooper, one of the most original thinkers of the 20th century.
The artwork by his friend and longtime collaborator Paul Kirchner is, as
always, wonderful. This edition includes a Preface by his grand-daughter
Amy Heath Lovato; an Afterword by Janelle Cooper, his beloved wife and
lifelong friend; and a Tribute by his daughter, Lindy Cooper Wisdom, the
publisher and editor-in-chief of Wisdom Publishing.
This is a handsomely designed, high quality paperback, printed on
acid-free paper.
600 pages • 6 x 9 • $30.00 plus $10 shipping and handling.
