In Pursuit of Life

In Pursuit of Life by Erik Hazelhoff. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780750932813.

This compelling autobiography offers a dramatic description of one mans truly extraordinary life. It radiates outwards from the Second World War in which Dutchman Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema served as a secret agent with the Special Operations Executive, a bomber pilot with the RAFs elite Pathfinder Force, and after receiving the Dutch equivalent of the Victoria Cross, as aide and confidante to Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. His adventures after the war were no less turbulent and spanned the globe - from sales clerk and actor in Hollywood to blockade runner off New Guinea; vice-president of NBC to bum in New Yorks Central Park; Director of Radio Free Europe for the CIA to oil prospector in Israel - and above all, a writer.
