John Lodwick

John Alan Patrick Lodwick (2 March 1916 – 18 March 1959) was a British novelist.
==Life==

Son of a father in the Indian Army, who died in the sinking of the SS Persia just before his son's birth, Lodwick attended Cheltenham College and the Royal Naval Academy at Dartmouth. He spent some time working as a journalist in Dublin before moving to France. He later recalled writing several unpublished novels during this period, but in a contrasting account stated that he wrote only plays.〔John Lodwick, ''Running to Paradise'', Author's Note; but see also John Lodwick, ''Bid the Soldiers Shoot''〕 He joined the French Foreign Legion at the outbreak of the World War II, and was awarded the Croix de Guerre in 1940. His prize-winning first novel, which he began to write while stranded in Vichy France, ''Running to Paradise'', is a fictionalised account of combat with the Legion and experiences as a prisoner of war. Subsequently he served as an officer in the Special Operations Executive, parachuting behind enemy lines to work undercover as a saboteur,〔John Lodwick, ''Bid the Soldiers Shoot''〕 and, in the rank of Captain, served with the Special Boat Service on raids in the Mediterranean and the Aegean. He was mentioned in despatches in 1945.〔''Who's Who'' 1950〕〔John Lodwick, "Author's Note", ''Running to Paradise'' (1943)〕
In addition to novels, he also published two volumes of autobiography, the second left incomplete at the time of his death in a car accident in Spain.〔''British Book News'' (1960), page 528〕 Some of his books reflect his war experiences, including his exploits as an officer in the Special Boat Service.〔Nicholas Shunn, "The Special Boat Service: Anders Lassen and Halki" (Halki Visitor )〕 He also wrote thrillers which analyse the psychological and spiritual motivations of their protagonists.
