1941:
a teenage William Catesby leaves Cambridge to join the army and support the war
effort. Parachuted into Occupied France as an SOE officer, he witnesses
tragedies and remarkable feats of bravery during the French Resistance.

2014:
now in his nineties, Catesby recounts his life to his granddaughter for the
first time. Their interviews weave together the historical, the personal and
the emotional, skipping across different decades and continents to reveal a
complex and conflicted man.

Catesby's
incredible story recounts a life of spying and the trauma of war, but also lost
love, yearning, and hope for the future.

Praise for Edward Wilson:



'Ted Wilson,
writing out of deepest Suffolk, is a magnificent addition to the English
tradition of writing about this dark side of politics and government. He deserves
a big readership as fact and fiction blend into great storytelling.' Tribune

'High calibre
writing throughout, and an array of extraordinary characters. Not to be
missed.' Shots

'Edward Wilson
seems poised to inherit the mantle of John le Carré' Irish Independent
