xi, 394 pages. Bibliography. Black and white photographic plates. "Joe Boyle led many lives - sailor, sports promoter, entrepreneur, diplomat, soldier, spy - each life a testament to a romantic nature, a love of action, a blunt, single-minded devotion to doing what seemeed right and what needed to be done. Decorated by four European countries for outstanding services in war, he long remained unsung and all but forgotten in his own land. Now, using new material from the Boyle family archives never before published, this book recreates in colourful detail the exciting life of one of the last international heroes." - dust jacket. Book
