Description
John Goldsmith's wartime exploits are remarkable considering his initial rejections due to age. He eventually found his place as a tank driving instructor before being recruited into Buckmaster's F Section of the Special Operations Executive in 1942. Accidental circumstances led to his recruitment, and after intensive training, he was parachuted into France for his first mission. His adventures included crossing the Pyrenees, sabotage, forming his own circuits, capture by the Gestapo, a daring escape, and black-marketeering. By 1944, he had become a Major and advisor to the Maquis in the Mont Ventoux area, where they fought pitched battles against the Germans. This account of war behind enemy lines is thrilling and offers a unique perspective on Goldsmith's experiences and the colorful characters he encountered.
