In 1934 he was assigned as an aide to the British embassy in UsefulNotes/{{Moscow}}. During this time he made a number of scouting forays into the countryside of Russia that were the basis for his famous work ''Eastern Approaches'' as well as providing material for some of his later works on Eastern European and Central Asian history.

When UsefulNotes/WorldWarII came, he enlisted in the British army, serving in the SAS in North Africa. He was latter assigned personally by UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill as envoy to Tito's Partisans in Yugoslavia. On retiring he married the widow of a naval hero and spent the rest of his life as a historian and author. If that is not enough sheer awesomeness he became the step-grandfather of the autistic piano prodigy Derek Paravicini. As well, not only did he have all that RealLife personal achievements in war and scholarship and all those [[BadassFamily interesting kinfolk]], he was said to be part of [[RecycledInSpace the inspiration for]] Literature/JamesBond.
