A DEGREE OF ORDNANCE

From a small country town in Yorkshire the son of the local butcher joined the Army as a naïve young lad. He was subsequently posted to Kenya with the British Royal Army Ordnance Corps. The adventure starts as he experiences life’s challenges in the time of conflict and horror during the Second World War. Martin Worship shines in his deployment, eventually to become a specialist ordnance expert, which catches the eye of the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. From such humble beginnings, in time he successfully completes a number of covert missions which takes him to overseas precarious assignments, including France, Argentina and East Africa. Unusually, the War Office recognized his capabilities and his intelligence skills that saw him transferred to the OSE, and later Mi5. His eventual appointment as Director of Operations of Mi5 was met with controversy, as previous British Secret Service candidates were selected from the inner sanction of the British Establishment. He tries his best to balance family life, and the commitments he endues in the very heart of enemy territory. His escapades are fought with danger and gripping circumstances. A rollercoaster read from cover to cover. —- ISBN: 9798853697225
