Publisher's Synopsis
Peter Kemp is one of the 20th century's great adventurers. His business, since the 1930s, has been the wars of the world, his enemy communism. This is a comprehensive account of a life spent in the frontline of battle.;His career began unfashionably with his enrolment in the ranks of Franco's Carlist forces in the Spanish Civil War; invalided out in 1938, he joined what was to become SOE at the beginning of World War II. After various hair-raising raids on the coast of northern France, he was dropped into Albania in 1943, briefed to organize resistance against the Germans.;After the invasion of France in 1944, there was barely a corner of the world that Kemp did not visit for secret military operations - Poland, Thailand, Vietnam. He was a journalist in Hungary in 1956 and journalism took him at later dates to Indochina and Central America.
