A Betrayal of Heroes by David Ebsworth

A Betrayal of Heroes by David Ebsworth

'Swear,' Leclerc shouted, 'that you will never lay down your arms until our colours, our beautiful colours, are flying afresh on Strasbourg Cathedral!' Headstrong newspaperman Jack Telford's weapon is his pen, but the oath he's taken at Kufra will still bind his fate to the passions and perils of the men and women who shape his life - his personal heroes, like the exiled Spanish Republicans now fighting for Free France. But from Oran and Casablanca to the heart of Africa, then into the cauldron of Normandy and the Liberation of Paris, Jack's fate is also bound to those who will betray them, and to the enemies who want Telford dead. Action, intrigue, love and loss. David Ebsworth, a terrific storyteller, his passion for his subject and his characters grabs you by the throat. Elizabeth Buchan, bestselling author of 'The Museum of Broken Promises', 'The New Mrs Clifton' and 'I Can't Begin To Tell You'.

Ebsworth, David: - David Ebsworth is the pen name of writer Dave McCall, a former negotiator for Britain's Transport & General Workers' Union. He was born in Liverpool but has lived in Wrexham, North Wales, with his wife Ann since 1981. Following his retirement, Dave began to write historical fiction in 2009 and has subsequently published five novels: political thrillers dealing with the 1745 Jacobite rebellion, the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War, the Battle of Waterloo, warlord rivalry in sixth century Britain, and the Spanish Civil War. This sixth book, 'Until the Curtain Falls' returns to that same Spanish conflict, following the story of journalist Jack Telford who, as it happens, is also the main protagonist in a separate novella, 'The Lisbon Labyrinth'. Each of Dave's novels have been critically acclaimed by the Historical Novel Society and been awarded the coveted B.R.A.G. Medallion for independent authors. His work-in-progress is a series of a further nine novellas, covering the years from 1911 until 1919 and the lives of a Liverpudlian-Welsh family embroiled in the Suffragette movement.
