'More than just a "witness to history", Jack Wheeler-Bennett was himself a gifted historian, illuminating his work with personal knowledge of many of the protagonistsIntrepid adventurer, skillful journalist, intelligence agent, one of the best informed men on Germany, or USA, and wonderful company, he walked with ease with presidents, kings, queens (and even Kaiser Wilhelm II), charming all down to club porters with his unaffected warmth. He was one of the outstanding, though unsung, certainly unrepeatable Britons of his age.'— Sir Alistair Horne -- Alistair Horne
