Biographical note
PETER DOWDING is the nephew of Bruce Dowding. He is a prominent Australian lawyer and a former Western Australian Premier. KEN SPILLMAN holds a PhD in history and is a prolific Australian author. His work spans many genres.
Young Australian teacher Bruce Dowding arrived in Paris in 1938, planning only to improve his understanding of French language and culture. Secret Agent, Unsung Hero draws on decades of research to reveal, for the first time, his coming of age as a leader in escape and evasion during World War II. Dowding helped exfiltrate hundreds of Allied servicemen from occupied France and paid the ultimate price. He was beheaded by the Nazis just after his 29th birthday in 1943.
Les mer
Brings from the shadows a forgotten Australian hero, denied France’s highest national honour by his own government’s negligence.
