Colonel Paddy

by Patrick Marrinan

He was an Air Commando; a leader of the most daredevil and dangerous  regiment in the British Army, the S.A.S .  He was the scourge of the Nazis; hidden orders showed that he was to be shot on sight.  He was the personification of Irish courage and the  most lovable character ever to come out of Ulster.  Lieutenant Colonel Robin Blair Main, DSO 3 Bars; Legion of Honour, Colonel Patty to his contemporaries, and not to history, was not just another hero in an area where heroes abound; he was a symbol of Ulster's warrior tradition and a legend in his own lifetime.  Lawrence of Arabia was a lightweight in comparison with this man of action, the deeds of daring would be recalled whenever brave man gathered to talk of battles near and long ago. His account of his escapades is a must read for military historians.  RARE BOOK ,LIMITED  QUANTITIES AVAILABLE .
