Why read it?
1 author picked Geoffrey as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Difficult to find, but this is a great little book. Geoffrey Appleyard was one of those secret agents involved in Operation Postmaster – one of the original James Bonds. He later joined the Special Air Service, and served with them with distinction, reaching the rank of Major. Tragically, he disappeared on a plane flying over Sicily during the Allied invasion of July 1943. His body was never recovered. This biography was written by his father as a memorial to Geoffrey, and has recently been republished. It is a heroic tale with a very sad ending.
From Brian's list on history about real secret agents.
