Pat Evans parachuted into German-occupied Northern Greece in
September 1943. His mission as a SOE operative was to support the
Greek resistance movement, carry out sabotage and commando
operations and gather military intelligence. By this time Greece
was not only a country ravaged by a brutal occupation but being
torn apart by fending political factions on the edge of civil war.
Evans had to walk a tight-rope between the Germans, the Communist
-directed ELAS, Macedonia irredentists and his own SOE masters in
Cairo and Allied High Command. After the Nazis withdrew in late
1944, he was sent to Northern Greece to try and restore some form
of normality amid the chaos of civil war. His success can be
measured by the warmth in which the locals still remember him, over
70 years on. This book draws on a wide range of sources, including
SOE and War Cabinet papers but it is Pat Evans' unpublished letters
and reports that give the reader an insight into the challenge that
he faced, both operationally and politically. The result is a
thrilling and informative book.
