Description
George Jellicoe: A Life of Action and Service This insightful biography offers a unique perspective on the life of George Jellicoe, son of Admiral Sir John Jellicoe. Despite his privileged upbringing, Jellicoe's life was marked by action, drama, public service, and controversy. From his exploits with the SAS to his later command of the SBS, Jellicoe's experiences during World War II and beyond are fascinating to read about. His bravery in saving a newly-liberated Athens from communist guerrillas is particularly noteworthy. After the war, he worked in the Foreign Office and later turned to politics, before returning to public life as a member of the House of Lords. Thanks to his son's research and access, this biography provides more than just a profile of a significant public figure - it offers a detailed look at Special Forces operations and the characters that Jellicoe encountered during his long and varied career.
