My Road to Ithaca

A Twentieth Century Small History

By: Michael Panayotopoulos,Beverly Bunn

An autobiography, this book is about the events and personalities of one hundred years of modern legends through the eyes of one who has lived it, stated in a uniquely opinionated manner. It includes wars and whores, the inside of business and politics on several continents, with unexpurgated revelations of individuals known to nearly everyone who lived during those times or learned about them since. Royalty, film figures, heads of state, corporate tycoons, and politicians parade through the pages as part of the author's daily life. Twentieth century history comes alive with experiences in Baltic wars, Adolf Hitler's inner circle, Greek government coups, CIA mercenaries in Africa, American heiresses, and the privileges of diplomatic office. Related by one born into riches and relegated to poverty, the narrative progresses via family scoundrels, political involvements, and escape and escapades in America. An unintendedly adventurous life from wealth and privilege to penniless, left with the asset of a brilliant mind to tell the story.

Special Forces Commander

The Life and Wars of Peter Wand-Tetley OBE MC Commando, SAS, SOE and Paratrooper

By: Michael Scott

Early in the Second World War, Peter Wand-Tetley volunteered for special service. He saw action first with the newly formed Commandos raiding the North African coast and then in the fierce fighting on Crete. Operations with the LRDG in the Western Desert were followed by SAS actions as Rommel retreated to Tunis. Remarkably he then transferred to the Special Operations Executive and was parachuted blind into enemy occupied Greece in 1943. His role was to train and equip Andarte guerillas and his contribution and courage were recognized by the award of an immediate MC.Following victory in Europe he sailed with the Parachute Regiment to Javo where he fought in the counter-insurgency war.As well as describing his exemplary war record, Special Forces Commander covers Wand-Tetleys early life (he was a superb marksman) and his career post war in the turbulent days of the end of Empire.
