I knew that Stroustrup had much to do with C++, 
but I did not know that he had much to do with defining C. 

I see plenty of books about C++, but I don't see anything about C.

What did Stroustrup write about C? (Other than that C++ is better)

Nope. I've seen plenty of mixed data in my life, 
and expect to see more mixed data.

Just read the link that Michal posted. No need to Google. 
Michal gave manual reference in his first post. 
Read the archives.
