Heroes in the Evening Mist

War correspondent Colin Frere is on assignment in Malia, a Southeast Asian stateconsumed by civil conflict and revolution. He is abducted by the Communistguerrillas – actually by prearrangement. His mission is to understand the rebels andtheir charismatic leader – not least because his own elder brother once foughtalongside them. But he soon finds that idealism trumps journalistic detachmentand he becomes an active soldier in the revolutionary cause. His journey and thatof his adopted country involves heroism, romance, comradeship – and ultimatelybetrayal.Heroes in the Evening Mist was the last novel by the prolific author William Ash,who died in 2014, and it has hitherto been unpublished. Ash was born in Texas butfought as a Spitfire pilot in the Second World War before spending three years in aGerman prisoner-of-war camp. His repeated attempts to escape made him oneof the models for the character played by Steve McQueen in the film The GreatEscape and were chronicled in his best-selling memoir Under the Wire. He wasa lifelong socialist and his final work shows a rare sympathetic engagement notonly with the cause of post-colonial liberation but also with the problems faced byrevolutionary governments once they have won power
