Where The Hell Have You Been?

<B>An extraordinary story of war-time heroism behind enemy lines from the stepson of Field Marshall Montgomery.</B><BR/><BR/> “A terrific read” <B>Andy McNab</B><BR/><BR/><B>In November 1942, two nights after the Battle of El Alamein, a young British army officer was captured. As the Nazis deliberated about what to do with him, Richard Carver had particular reason to be afraid: unknown to anyone, he was the stepson of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, the Allied Commander who had just inflicted the first defeat on the Third Reich.</B><BR/><BR/> This gripping story tells of Richard's internment in a POW camp in northern Italy. Having decided to risk making his way back to Allied HQ in the south, he embarked on a grueling 500-mile journey through German-occupied territory, evading capture again and again and ultimately being saved by a family of brave Italians who jeopardized not just their own lives but those of an entire village to hide him.<BR/><BR/> In the winter of 1943, a year after he disappeared, he staggered back into Army HQ, to be greeted by his stepfather with the words, 'Where the hell have you been?'<BR/><BR/> This is a great adventure story - a reminder of a lost age, and of a generation forced to rise to extraordinary feats of valor in the service of a cause greater than themselves.<BR/><BR/> “Riveting and remarkable” <B>Ben Macintyre, author of <I>Operation Mincemeat</I></B><BR/><BR/> “This account is a gem. It reminds one of the gallantry and devotion to duty of a generation that has left us.” <B>Patrick Cordingley, Commander of the Desert Rats, Iraq, 1991</B><BR/><BR/><I>Where the Hell Have You Been? </I>provides a completely new way of seeing the prickly old warrior, Monty' <B><I>The Daily Telegraph</I></B>
