I heard Keggie Carew talking about this book at my local literary festival and was impressed. The book doesn't disappoint. Her father, Tom Carew, was a fascinating man and led a remarkable life. Although her starting point is her father's dementia, she does not dwell on it too much and mainly concentrates on his war service as part of the Jedburghs - the special forces teams parachuted behind enemy lines in the Second World War to work with resistance fighters. Personally, I found the section on the operations in France post D-day more interesting than the operations against the Japanese in Burma which gets a bit bogged down with colonial politics and the complicated machinations of the various nationalist politicians.
