Several years ago, I checked out this book that was like an edited autiobiography of someone who was a mercenary in Europe during either the 1600s or 1700s. I want to say that the guy was Irish, but he could have been Scottish or Welsh, and I think he served mainly in Germany. I think the book had rogue or scoundrel in the title or something like that
What's weird is that the basic story sounded a whole lot like the novel Barry Lyndon, except he was a real person.
For some reason, I'm thinking the guy's name was Peter, George, Henry, or Hugh.
Edit- What's weird is that Patrick Gordon
sounds like who I'm thinking of, but there isn't a book in English that fits what I'm thinking of.
