Andrew Orr

Andrew Orr swapped history for medicine at university, working as a doctor in the army with the Scots Guards and then in general practice in Scotland. In retirement he returned to history, becoming deeply involved with a Norwegian project with a consequent bestselling book, Sea Dog Bamse: World War II Canine Hero. He became curious and then inspired by the small boat escapes he had discovered. A ten-year quest has ended in the writing of this, his second book.
