Über den Autor
MALCOLM BROWN was for many years a BBC documentary producer; in 1966 he co-produced with Patricia Meehan the highly successful film Scapa Flow, which led to the publication of this book. Since 1989 he has been a freelance historian at the Imperial War Museum, and is now best known for his books on military subjects, including Tommy Goes to War and a number of IWM books about the First World War. PATRICIA MEEHAN spent several years as a welfare worker in post-war Germany. She began a long career in television in the USA before joining the BBC, where she became a documentary producer specialising in contemporary history. Upon leaving the BBC she became a full-time writer. Her books The Unnecessary War and A Strange Enemy People deal with aspects of British and German relations before and immediately after the Second World War.
