Beschreibung
From the time, many years ago, when Michael Palin first heard that his grandfather had a brother, Harry, who died in tragic circumstances during the First World War, he was determined to find out more about him. The quest that followed involved hundreds of hours of painstaking detective work. Great-Uncle Harry is an utterly compelling account of an ordinary man who led an extraordinary life. A fascinating blend of biography, history, travelogue and personal memoir.
