George Millar

    George Reid Millar bol škótsky novinár, autor a vojak, ktorého literárna tvorba vychádza z jeho pozoruhodných vojnových skúseností. Bol vyznamenaný za statočnosť a vynaliezavosť počas úniku v druhej svetovej vojne, o čom písal vo svojej prvotnej práci. Neskôr bol ocenený za svoje služby vo Francúzsku v roku 1944, kde bojoval v tyle s miestnym odbojom. Tieto zážitky, ktoré inšpirovali jeho najznámejšie dielo, zdôrazňujú jeho talent pre opis akcie a hrdinstva.

    • "In the summer of 1944 George Millar was parachuted into France with the codename Émile to work alongside the Maquis. D-Day was imminent and Millar's task was to link local resistance groups around Besançon into an effective guerrilla force able to disrupt the enemy's ability to move reinforcements ... A hero to those he served alongside, Millar was awarded the Legion d'Honneur and the Croix de Guerre. to this day, Maquis remains one of the finest accounts of life with the French Resistance."--Back cover

    • This voyage from Lymington to the Riviera should not be noteworthy, but this is a world recovering from war, and the author a man 'incapable of writing a dull sentence'.

      One of the reasons the British won the 'radar war' with Nazi Germany was that we knew precisely how the enemy system worked. This was thanks to a daring commando raid on a German Wurzburg radar site at Bruneval in northern France.
