Über den Autor
Alan Ogden has written several books on the history of S.O.E. - it was when researching its activities in Greece and the Far East that he came across the occasional scant reference to the travel writer Peter Fleming and became determined to tell the story of his hitherto little known and extraordinary wartime activities.
Based in London, Alan has also lectured and written extensively on Romanian history and culture, including a monograph about Patrick Leigh Fermor in pre-war Romania.
He is currently the archivist of the Grenadier Guards and a lecturer for Martin Randall Travel.

Zusammenfassung
Fleming was an adventurer, soldier and travel writer. It is thought Peter was an inspiration for the creation of James Bond due to his involvement in operations in Norway and Greece during the war.
