Jungle soldier

Description:

Brought up in a rural vicarage, Freddy Spencer Chapman acquired a deep love of nature and became 'fascinated by danger' during childhood. 30 years later, as an SOE-trained guerilla soldier of exceptional ability and courage, the orphan boy would prove to be one of the British army's deadliest agents.
