Gwynne Dyer is the spelling. He was involved in the creation, writing
and presentation of the seven part National Film Board of Canada
series "War", which was seen in the U.S. on PBS. His book _War_ was
published by Crown Publishers, N.Y. in 1985. He was born in
Newfoundland, Canada, joined the Canadian navy 1t 17 and also served
in the British and American navies. He graduated from Memorial
University (Newfoundland) with a B.A., earned a M.A., from Rice and
then a Ph.D. in war studies from University of London.

In response to Bill Ehrhart's query,
I believe the spelling is Gwynne Dyer, according to the the
listing of the companion book, _War_(New York: Crown, 1985)
I found.

Bill,
The correct spelling is "Gwynne Dyer". This is from the book 'War', the
companion book to the series.

You are quite correct. There was also a companion book that was
published coevally with the series, that you might be able to find in
a local public library or academic media center if they takped the
thing.
