The Next Moon - Andre Hue and Ewen Southby-Tailyour
Softback, 320 pages from a non smoking house.
Andre Hue was born in Swansea of a Welsh mother and French father, and brought up in France. He was recruited by SOE and parachuted into Brittany, where he displayed outstanding bravery for which he was awarded both the DSO and the Croix de Guerre. He was later dropped behind enemy lines in Burma, and after the war joined MI6.
He was dropped behind enemy lines on 5 June 1944 to unite resistance forces in Brittany and paralyse German troops. Though Hues mission was fraught with difficulty - he missed his landing site, his secret base became the sight of a pitched battle and a band of Cossacks tried to hunt him down - he knew thousands of lives depended on his success.
£2 plus postage (£2???)
