Description
Sir Carol Mather MC had a fascinating war. His memoirs, which quickly sold out, covers service with Sterling's SAS, his escape from a POW camp in Italy and his two tours on Montgomery's small personal staff. No wonder this book was widely reviewed and described as 'a classic' in The Spectator.
