Frank Miniter has floated the Amazon, run with the bulls of Pamplona, hunted everything from bear in Russia to elk with the Apache to kudu in the Kalahari, and he has fly-fished everywhere from Alaska's Kenai to Scotland's River Spey to Japan's freestone streams. Along the way he was taught to box by Floyd Patterson, spelunked into Pompey's Cave, climbed everywhere from New York's Gunks to the Rockies, and studied Kenkojuku Karate with Sensei Masakazu Takahashi. He graduated from the oldest private military academy in the United States, a place that still teaches honor and old-school gentlemanly conduct. He believes that American men need this book because too many have forgotten-or never been taught-the gentleman's code of honor.

He is the author of several books, including the bestselling Ultimate Man's Survival Guide and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Hunting, has won numerous awards for his outdoors and conservation writing, and has contributed articles to Forbes, National Review, The Washington Times, The Washington Examiner, Foxnews.com, and many other outlets. He was a senior editor at Outdoor Life magazine and an executive editor at American Hunter magazine. Currently, he is editor in chief of the NRA's political magazine, America's 1st Freedom.
