Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Peter Churchill by Andrea Cominini Examines and contextualises the work of Peter Churchill. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description After researching the life of a British Special Operation Executive agent, Oliver Churchill, who operated over the summer of 1944, Andrea Cominini found that his brother, Peter, had also been an SOE agent operating in France during WWII. Peter carried out four missions, spending 225 days in enemy territory. Finally captured, he spent over two years in captivity. After the war he wrote four novels based on his wartime experiences. Reviewing his second book, The Daily Herald wrote: "Now Peter Churchill wrote one of the best spy books of all time". The author describes the different literary genres in which Churchills works can be situated and – through a subsequent analysis of the novels – how they provide a clear and historical representation of everyday life of a British secret agent during WWII. Peter Churchills works are then compared to those of pther novelists of his time, uncovering a range of connections with other related authors and literary genres. After the war, Churchill was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and the Croix de Guerre; his wife Odette, who worked with him as an underground courier during the war, was the first woman to receive the George Cross. Author Biography Andrea Cominini teaches of foreign languages and literatures at an Italian secondary school and writes for the Historical Institutes for the Resistance of Brescia and Bergamo.
