John Collins passed away at the age of 97 after a long career in defense of our country in and out of uniform.
I was introduced to him in 1980 when I purchased his U.S.-Soviet Military Balance: Concepts and Capabilities 1960-1980. This despite being a very poor college student with few coins to rub together. It was that good and it was my well-worn (literally held together with masking tape) "Bible" in college. It is still on my shelf.
This was sad news.
