Description

Featured in the Amazon top ten in November 2013, and also as a UK paperbacks top 5 book on 1st December 2013.

No Ordinary Life by Peter Stokes, published by FeedARead.com. The true story of a father who, on his death bed, handed his son a dusty journal containing details of his secret past as a Second World War hero and founding member of the 2nd SAS.

Just weeks prior to his death Horace Stokes asked his son Peter to return home as he had 'something important' to share with him, and presented him with a battered diary. Peter, himself a decorated military officer, said: "He wanted me to come home so that he could talk to me about his life growing up in the shadow of war and also about his part in some of the most famous raids during the Second World War; throughout his life he'd never revealed these secrets".

His secret journal, published as a book, recalls daring missions behind enemy lines in France, the Mediterranean and Italy.

It also documents his capture, escape and recapture in Italy and Germany.

Stokey, as he was known to his war-time comrades, served with 12 Commando, the Small Scale Raiding Force and the SAS.

This book tells the story of a modest man who epitomised a generation now nearly all gone, someone who lived no ordinary life.
