Jim Thompson

Forum

Thought perhaps someone might want to know. The crime /s;oce of life writer and screen writer, Jim Thompson, died in 1977. I am a student of his work.

I am also the author of the HISTORY OF THE MACHINE GUN,
THE COMPLETE M1 GARAND, THE CLASSIC M1 GARAND,
and an upcoming series of books, tentatively titled GREAT GUNS, which could eventually become 12-25 volumes.

The Jim Thompson who writes the books on military orders and
decorations is also NOT the same fellow as the preceding two, and the silk vendor in Thailand, who apparently disappeared some years ago, is yet another. So, too, is the famous football coach (that makes at least five of us), the former governor of
Illinois (is that 6?), the longest-held American POW (7?), several vendors of jewelry and fine art (another half dozen, for a total of at least 13)....

It's a very common name. Whether any of us are related, I do not know.
