Alan Dillon joined the Royal Marines in 1988. After 12 years of overseas travel, operational tours, and a brief period of learning Arabic, he transitioned from a military career to one in diplomacy by joining the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 2000. He has served in Afghanistan, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, and Oman, interspersed with spells in various parts of Whitehall, mostly covering the Gulf and South Asia regions. This book is the result of three years of research on political agent Captain Shakespear, a distant yet far more respectable predecessor.
