Guard has painstakingly researched published sources and original PRO records to produce an absorbing, definitive story of military opportunism and indiscretion; of extreme endurance punctuated by sudden, sharp action; and of clandestine, courageous enterprise and ingenuity in the idyllic setting of the Greek islands.
