The Civilian Bomb Disposing Earl

Hi everyone, I'm excited about having my new book, a biography, 'The Civilian Bomb Disposing Earl' published and released by Pen & Sword, Military Publishers, UK. The 20th Earl of Suffolk & Berkshire, GC, Jack Howard, became an earl at the age of 11. His illustrious ancestors - Howards - had Henry VIII's & Elizabeth I's ear. They became admirals and great fighters, but also incurred their wrath because of their manipulations and treason. Jack Howard was a top honours graduate, an adept speaker of French, and a man who had the skull & crossbones and naked women tattooed on his back and could curse in many languages. The British government sent him to Paris at the beginning of WWII on a very Top Secret mission to bring back a most precious commodity that Russia, Germany and America wanted desperately to get their hands on. Later, Jack became a pioneer in bomb disposal in its early days. His methods of defuzing bombs saved many lives.
