Personal memoirs of British WW2 hero Peter Kemp's early volunteer service during the Spanish Civil War
Peter Mant MacIntyre Kemp (August 19, 1915 - October 30, 1993) was an English soldier and writer. He became notable for his participation in the Spanish Civil War, one of the few Englishmen to volunteer for Franco's Nationalist forces, serving in the elite (and high casualty) Spanish Foreign Legion and, during World War II, as a member of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) who fought in France, Albania, and the Far East. Later in life Kemp became a beloved journalist and critic, providing on the ground reports from major international incidents like the 1956 Hungarian Uprising and the Nicaraguan Revolution. He was a close collaborator with legendary intelligence operative David Smiley, another SOE veteran.
