The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was the paramount Allied
sabotage force of the Second World War. Its job - in Churchill's
words - was to "set Europe ablaze" through the use of sabotage,
insurrection and assassination. One of its "shining Stars" and
"legends" was the close-combat pistol instructor, Colonel Hector
Grant-Taylor. Grant-Taylor taught the commandos, secret agents and
irregular soldiers the art of how to kill at close quarters. He
taught them how to be ruthless, lethal and covert, and yet his own
life was itself a mystery worthy of a John Buchan thriller novel.
Misinformation, deception, bravery, murder, and ultimately
redemption, all play a part in his story. At Close Quarters finally
puts to rest the myths and legends that surrounded his life, and
unravels the mysterious truth behind the enigma that was Colonel
Hector Grant-Taylor!
