Michael (MRD) Foot enjoys the rare distinction of being the only
person referred to by his real name in a John Le Carre novel. A
highly significant tribute to the man entrusted with writing the
official record of the Special Operations Executive. He authored
first (1966) the History of SOE in France and twenty years later
the highly sensitive accounts of SOE operations in Belgium and
Holland (which the Germans infiltrated with disastrous results).
With his own war service background and academic reputation MRD was
an inspired choice for these historic tasks. He was fearless in
pursuit of the truth and in thwarting bureaucratic attempts to
muzzle him. His war exploits make thrilling reading. His
behind-the-lines mission to track down a notorious SD interrogator
went badly wrong and he only just escaped with his life. His career
has brought him into close contact with an astonishing cast of
characters and his tongue-in-cheek account of academic life makes
lively reading.
