The Cost of a Reputation by Ian David Mitchell
A re-examination of the libel case in which Lord Aldington was accused and cleared of knowingly handing over refugees and POWs for execution to Stalin and Tito, in what was labelled as Britain's only "war crime" of World War II.
Mitchell, Ian: - Ian Mitchell was born and brought up in Yorkshire and earned a BA in History from Lancaster University. He began his working life as a librarian working for the Royal Navy. This experience led him to join the Royal Naval Reserve as an Ordinary Seaman in 1979 before being commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1982. In 1986 Ian transferred to British Army where he served in a range of education and training roles in the UK and Germany. He left the Army as a Major in 1997 to pursue a third career working on major training projects in the defence industry before taking early retirement in 2013. His passionate interest in military history started while he was a teenager and has continued throughout his life. He was inspired to research and then write about the Battle of the Peaks after reading Gregory Blaxland's book, 'The Plain Cook and The Great Showman' and visiting Tunisia in 2008. Ian is married to Alison and they now divide their time between Wiltshire and Scotland. In addition to military and naval history his interests include playing golf, travel and acting as a battlefield guide. This is his first book.
