Alan Ogden - After a career including twelve years as an infantry officer with the Grenadier Guards and a long and enjoyable stint in international advertising and public relations, Alan decided to change direction and write about the history and culture of Eastern Europe. His books include Romania Revisited, Fortresses of Faith, Revelations of Byzantium, Winds of Sorrow and Moons and Aurochs. In 2010, Through Hitler's Back Door, his well-received study of SOE in Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania, broke new ground and A Spur Called Courage continued his interest in the history of the courage and heroism of individual SOE.

Dr. Roderick Bailey, author of the critically acclaimed The Wildest Province: SOE in the Land of the Eagle and Forgotten Voices of the Secret War: an Inside History of SOE; "his thorough research has produced a marvelous book...Brimming with anecdote and full of character...very readable...[the author] is to be congratulated on producing a superb book that is a fitting tribute to those who fought with SOE in Greece" - Guards Magazine; "fluent. highly readable text...an inspiring story, worth reading in this new dark time for the people of Greece." - The Angol-Hellenic Review
