The isles of the sea and other West Highland tales

MaClean, Fitzroy

Collins

If ever there was a child of the twentieth century, it was Josip Broz, born eight years before it began, the son of a poor Croat peasant, suddenly to become famous some fifty years later as Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia. Our century's blood stained landmarks, two World Wars, the Russian Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, the emergence of Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini, the great Soviet purges of the thirties, the assassinations at Sarajevo and Marseilles, all played their part in his development and had their impact on his career. And he, in his turn, made his impact on the century.

Tito:A Pictorial Biography

Macmillan-Hill Company

The classic true adventure story of a man who, by the pen, sword, and diplomatic pouch, influenced some of the most significant events of our era. Fitzroy Maclean recounts his extraordinary adventures in Soviet Central Asia; in the Western Desert, where he specialized in hair-raising commando raids behind enemy lines; and with Tito's partisans during the last months of the German occupation of Yugoslavia. An enthralling narrative brilliantly told.

Fitztroy Maclean was one of the real-life inspirations for super-spy James Bond. After adventures in Soviet Russia before the war, Maclean fought with the SAS in North Africa in 1942. There he specialised in hair-raising commando raids behind enemy lines, including the daring and outrageous kidnapping of the German Consul in Axis-controlled Iraq. Maclean's extraordinary adventures in the Western Desert and later fighting alongside Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia are blistering reading and show what it took to be a British hero who broke the mould . . .
