Keggie Carew's remarkable book is both a biography of and a homage to her unconventional father Tom Carew, variously a Special Operations Executive guerilla and an intelligence agent with the Intelligence Corps and MI6. The book is a braided rope, entwined within which are narratives of Tom's courageous and maverick exploits, analysis of wartime Burmese politics, the story of pulling together threads of research and, movingly, the pain of living with a relative's increasing dementia. Highly recommended!
