In this fascinating and moving memoir the author relates not only her own experiencesbut tells of the heroism of many of those who served the Allies undercover in occupied Greece and gives fresh insight into this complex period of Greek politics when the convulsive struggles between 'Communists' and 'Monarcho-Fascists' divided the Greek nation and rendered Greece virtually ungovernable.Her story is one of divided loyaltiesbetween her love of England and her devotion to Greecebetween a wish to escape the horrors of civil war and a deep-seated desire to help her fellow countrymen.The immediacy of Mary Henderson's writing vividly evokes the turbulence of those years as she records with passion sensitivity and humourthe many human incidents and testimonies of which history is made. After the civil war Mary Henderson returned to England where she married Sir Nicholas Hendersonlater Ambassador to WarsawBonnParis and Washington.
