Description
Behind Enemy Lines: The Autobiography of Britain's Most Decorated Living War Hero Sir Tommy Macpherson's remarkable story has remained untold for 65 years, despite his impressive military record. The young Highlander, still a schoolboy when war broke out, quickly matured into a legendary commando, earning three Military Crosses, three Croix de guerre, a Légion d'honneur, and a papal knighthood. Macpherson's heroics during the Second World War are a testament to his bravery and cunning. He persuaded 23,000 SS soldiers to surrender and almost single-handedly stopped Yugoslavia's annexation of northeast Italy. His experiences, including two captures and multiple escapes, are a remarkable tale of survival and determination. This autobiography offers a unique glimpse into the life of one of Britain's most decorated living soldiers, with a diverse cast of characters and a story that is both astonishing and inspiring.
