FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The story of one of the most remarkable heroes of the Second World War, a soldier of superb athleticism and almost superhuman instincts. To the men with whom he fought shoulder to shoulder he was Saint Geoff, to his critics he was as ruthless in his pursuit of women as in his pursuit of the enemy. Notes The story of one of the most remarkable heroes of WWII. Based in large measure on Major Geoffs (Gordon-Creed) own journals and letters, this is an honest account of winning a war not by fair play but by being more ruthless than your enemy. What is even more extraordinary than his soldiering is the frank account of the sexual adventuring that went with it. Major Geoff is my type of soldier - the kind of guy you want in your team when you tear up the rule book Chris Ryan Author Biography Geoffrey Gordon-Creed DSO, MC was born in 1920 and served right through the Second World War, finally retiring as a lieutenant-colonel, aged 28.

Review A thrilling tale of slit throats, torture and loud bangs; it is also a story of seduction and illicit sex: quite unlike anything else to emerge from the last war. Definitely a fascinating read. - Ranulph FiennesMajor Geoff is my type of soldier - the kind of guy you want in your team when you tear up the rule book. - Chris RyanFast-paced... a good dose of humour. It is refreshing to read a book relating to that period that could have been written by a modern soldier with a typical work hard, play hard ethos. - Sgt Wallace Stephenson, Intelligence Corps, Soldier MagazineThrilling (and even classic)... parachuted as a saboteur into Greece, where he stayed for over a year, doing heroic mischief against the Nazis, and not exactly improving the morals of the local Greek women. Theres no doubting that this is the record of a hero - albeit one in the Flashman mode. - A.N. Wilson, Readers DigestMajor Geoff is a brave, blithe adventurer in ruthless, resourceful action, as opportunistic and vigorous in the theatre of war as in the bedroom. - The TimesThis book is simply cracking. Dirty, dangerous and a lot of fun. - The FieldFormer army officer Roger Field pieces together Major Geoffs unpublished journals and letters in this uncut version of World War II. Most riveting of all is the Majors account of the destruction of the Asopos Viaduct in occupied Greece - this is Boys Own stuff at its best. - Daily MailWar heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but Ive rarely come across any as charismatic as Geoffrey Gordon-Creed... A maverick and prodigious womaniser, its no surprise to learn he was a friend of Ian Fleming and was reputedly one of the models for James Bond. - Mail on Sunday Promotional Sabotage and seduction behind German lines with Geoffrey Gordon-Creed, DSO, MC Long Description The story of one of the most remarkable heroes of the Second World War, a soldier of superb athleticism and almost superhuman instincts.
