“…a valuable addition to the historical record. The Luftwaffe officer's account for being selected for the May 1945 submarine trip to Japan also proved interesting from a "last gasp" point of view.”

This is the fascinating true story of this extremely brave SOE officer and partly covers his former wife Odette’s tale as well. A fluent French speaker, excellent athlete, and a highly intelligent ma, Peter Churchill was seemingly the perfect choice for the SOE. However, he tended to be a bit impulsive and careless, qualities for which he paid a heavy price.
This well-researched and clearly written book covers his missions to France, his working relationships with his French colleagues and his romance. The story of the controversy surrounding the film about Odette and his time in the SOE is especially interesting.
