The Autobiography of Murdo Ewen Macdonald of Harris

From a croft in the Hebridean island of Harris to the grim confines of a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp and the hallowed halls of Glasgow University, the life of Murdo Ewen MacDonald was one of extraordinary variety. Ordained as a Church of Scotland minister in 1939 Murdo Ewen went on to see service during the second World War. As a volunteer in the First Parachute Brigade he was sent to North Africa, when he was severely wounded and taken prisoner. Whilst incarcerated in the notorious Stalag Luft III camp, he supported countless prisoners through their POW experience and played a key part in the preparations of the men who took part in the audacious breakout which was later immortalized in the Hollywood blockbuster The Great Escape.
After the war he served in various charges in Scotland before being appointed Professor of Practical Theology at Glasgow University, a post which he held until his retirement in 1984.
In this much acclaimed book he looks back over his long and eventful life.

A TIME OF TYRANTS by Trevor Royle
In this book acclaimed military historian Trevor Royle examines Scotland's role in the second world war from a wide range of perspectives.
The country's geographical position gave it great strategic importance for importing war material and reinforcements, for conducting naval and aerial operations and for training regular and specialist forces. The role played by women was also essential to the war effort: for the first time they were conscripted and worked on the land, in forestry and in munitions factories.
In addition to the importance military aspects - the exploits of the army's renowned 15th Scottish, 51st Highland and Lowland Divisions in Europe and North Africa and the role played by the RAF and the Royal Navy from Scottish bases - Scotland was also vital as an industrial powerhouse and acted as the nation's larder.
Based on previously unseen archives in the National Records of Scotland, A Time of Tyrants is the first comprehensive history of the unique part played by Scotland and the Scots in the global war to defeat Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.
