David Smiley is the author of 3 books. Irregular Regular was published in 2020 and is the third volume in his Extraordinary Life of Colonel David Smiley series. It is the 87th book I completed reading in 2023.

Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own! Due to scenes of violence, I categorize this book as R.

This book is the final volume in the autobiography of Colonel David Smiley. He was commissioned into the Household Cavalry in 1936 and assigned to the Middle East. As WWII began, he trained and was deployed with the Commandos. He later served with the SOE. His career spanned North Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Thailand. He returned to the UK and worked for MI6. The book covers many of his wartime exploits, as well as his post-war years.

I enjoyed the 8 hours I spent reading this 258-page WWII history. I had the opportunity to earlier read the first book in the series Albanian Assignment. I found both of his books to be good nonfiction reads. This book reads well for a history/biography, almost like a novel. The chosen cover art is simple, but represents the book well. I give this novel a rating of 4 out of 5.
