Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Lewen Weldon was mapping the eastern desert of Egypt when World War I broke out. A fluent Arabic speaker, he was recruited to run a network of spies and confidential agents who were landed from a steam yacht onto the Syrian coast behind Turkish lines. He took his men to the shore in small boats at night, which also allowed him to land and conduct personal interviews before returning back through the surf.This vivid tale of adventure becomes eyewitness history as we encounter Armenians escaping the massacres, passionate Arab nationalists, resolute Turkish soldiers and a heroic network of Jewish volunteers. Weldon s modesty and self-deprecating Irish wit, complete with a few prejudices, take us to the vivid heart of his experience, in which each man depended for his life on his colleagues.This is a story that simply had to be told. 'We were extraordinarily lucky with our agents. I don t think more than seven were actually captured. Six of these were hanged and one had his head cut off.''An Irish surveyor unexpectedly finds himself Captain of a spy ship dropping and retrieving secret agents along the Levant coast during WWI. A Lawrence of the sea, Weldon's memoirs are vivid, spiced with courage, knowledge and humanity; a gripping read, as well as a core document of British military intelligence in the Levant. The author comes across as brave, honest, and unpretentious, his book a rare treat chock-full of spies, danger, intrigue and unflinching service to a noble cause.' T. J. Gorton Weldon was mapping the deserts of Egypt when war broke out. Working from out of a steam yacht based on Port Said or Famagusta, he ran a network of spies and confidential agents onto the Levant coast behind Turkish lines. He was a fluent Arabic speaker and could conduct personal interviews on the shore, as well as landing and taking off agents - all Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
