    Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Soldier of Misfortune is the previously unpublished wartime memoir of Martin Ferrey, who served as a front-line officer with No. 9 Commando during the Second World War. Beginning as a reluctant recruit in the Scots Guards in 1940, Ferrey passed through Sandhurst before volunteering for the Army Commandos, with whom he would serve in Gibraltar, Italy and Albania during some of the hardest fighting of the Mediterranean campaign. Ferrey trained at Achnacarry and Lochailort during the formative years of the Commandos before taking part in operations including the raid on the Tremiti Islands, the Anzio landings and the savage fighting around Mount Ornito north of the Garigliano River, where he was badly wounded. He also served during operations in Albania as Allied forces sought to disrupt German withdrawals from the Balkans. Written with remarkable honesty, humour and self-awareness, Ferrey's memoir captures both the absurdity and brutality of wartime soldiering. He writes vividly about the hardships of training, the realities of Commando operations, the fear and confusion of combat, and the physical and psychological consequences of battle. Along the way he encounters a fascinating cast of wartime figures, including Randolph Churchill, Evelyn Waugh, Lord Mountbatten and many of Britain's most famous special forces soldiers. Supplemented by family letters, photographs and editorial notes, Soldier of Misfortune is both a compelling Commando memoir and an unusually thoughtful account of one officer's struggle to reconcile courage, fear, duty and survival in wartime. AUTHOR: Vincent Hunt is a documentary journalist and award-winning BBC producer. Crossing Latvia interviewing people who suffered at the hands of the KGB or fought against their system of totalitarian control he sets the political and social context of what Communism actually meant in this Baltic state: interrogation, surveillance, deportation and often death. This is his second book about Latvia's recent history, following on from Blood in the Forest - the end of the Second World War in the Courland Pocket (Helion 2017) which detailed the six desperate battles by German and Latvian forces to halt the Red Army advance into Latvia. His work explores pan-generational trauma, forgiveness and legacy, with the journey to see the landscape now an important part of understanding sorrow, loss and memorial for those left behind. His first book Fire and Ice (The History Press, 2014) was a journey across Arctic Norway meeting people affected by the Nazi scorched earth retreat of 1944 and the forced evacuation of the region. Along the way he discovered the shocking stories of 13,700 Soviet prisoners worked to death in sub-zero conditions or murdered by their Nazi captors. 20 b/w photos, 5 b/w maps, 1 table Soldier of Misfortune is an honest military memoir of a combat officer of the Army Commandos in the Second World War. It provides a first-hand, narrated account of a soldiers service from recruitment and training to field operations, close-combat encounters, wounding, recuperation, and demobilisation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Ferrey trained at Achnacarry and Lochailort during the formative years of the Commandos before taking part in operations including the raid on the Tremiti Islands, the Anzio landings and the savage fighting around Mount Ornito north of the Garigliano River, where he was badly wounded. He also served during operations in Albania as Allied forces sought to disrupt German withdrawals from the Balkans. Written with remarkable honesty, humour and self-awareness, Ferrey's memoir captures both the absurdity and brutality of wartime soldiering. He writes vividly about the hardships of training, the realities of Commando operations, the fear and confusion of combat, and the physical and psychological consequences of battle. Along the way he encounters a fascinating cast of wartime figures, including Randolph Churchill, Evelyn Waugh, Lord Mountbatten and many of Britain's most famous special forces soldiers. Supplemented by family letters, photographs and editorial notes, Soldier of Misfortune is both a compelling Commando memoir and an unusually thoughtful account of one officer's struggle to reconcile courage, fear, duty and survival in wartime. AUTHOR: Vincent Hunt is a documentary journalist and award-winning BBC producer. Crossing Latvia interviewing people who suffered at the hands of the KGB or fought against their system of totalitarian control he sets the political and social context of what Communism actually meant in this Baltic state: interrogation, surveillance, deportation and often death. This is his second book about Latvia's recent history, following on from Blood in the Forest - the end of the Second World War in the Courland Pocket (Helion 2017) which detailed the six desperate battles by German and Latvian forces to halt the Red Army advance into Latvia. His work explores pan-generational trauma, forgiveness and legacy, with the journey to see the landscape now an important part of understanding sorrow, loss and memorial for those left behind. His first book Fire and Ice (The History Press, 2014) was a journey across Arctic Norway meeting people affected by the Nazi scorched earth retreat of 1944 and the forced evacuation of the region. Along the way he discovered the shocking stories of 13,700 Soviet prisoners worked to death in sub-zero conditions or murdered by their Nazi captors. 20 b/w photos, 5 b/w maps, 1 table Soldier of Misfortune is an honest military memoir of a combat officer of the Army Commandos in the Second World War. It provides a first-hand, narrated account of a soldiers service from recruitment and training to field operations, close-combat encounters, wounding, recuperation, and demobilisation.
