Entry Text: | PARISH, Michael Woodbine. Aegean Adventures 1940-1943 and the End of Churchill's Dream. 400p., illus., index. Lewes: Book Guild, 1993. ISBN: 0863327885.
The autobiography of an army officer of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry. After the fall of Crete - which is fully described - he became involved in the cloak and dagger war in the Aegean and captured Samos and Leros almost single-handedly. He was captured and badly wounded and spent some time in German prison camps. Something of a polemic. |
