Biografier
The author of Flames of Calais details life in the top-secret department of Britain’s War Office during World War II in this military memoir.
Airey Neave, who in the last two years of the war was the chief organizer at M. I.9, gives his inside story of the underground escape lines in occupied North-West Europe, which returned over 4,000 Allied servicemen to Britain during the Second World War. He describes how the escape lines began in the first dark days of German occupation and how, until the end of the war, thousands of ordinary men and women made their own contribution to the Allied victory by hiding and feeding men and guiding them to safety.
Neave was the first British POW to make a “home run” from Colditz Castle. On his return, he joined M. I.9 adopting the code name “Saturday. ” He also served with the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal. Tragically Airey Neave’s life was cut short by the IRA who assassinated him in 1979 when he was one of Margaret Thatcher’s closest political allies.
Praise for Saturday at M. I.9
“There isn’t a page in the book which isn’t exciting in incident, wise in judgment, and absorbing through its human involvement. ” —The Times Literary Supplement (UK)
