Description
Eastern Approaches is a gripping account of the author's experiences as a diplomat and soldier in the Soviet Union and North Africa during World War II. With a new foreword by Simon Sebag Montefiore, this 70th anniversary edition offers a unique perspective on the author's adventures, including his daring commando raids and his time as Winston Churchill's personal representative in Yugoslavia. The book takes readers on a journey through the sybaritic delights of diplomatic life, the thrill of remote travel in Central Asia, and the violence and adventure of world-changing tours in North Africa and Yugoslavia. With its absorbing mixture of military adventure, political judgement, urbane wit, cool humour, and surprising incident, Eastern Approaches is a compelling read for anyone interested in history, politics, and adventure. This book is a testament to the author's bravery and wit, and offers a fascinating insight into the world of espionage and special forces during World War II.
