Το βιβλίο του αγαπητού συμμαθητού μου, προϊόν σχολαστικής έρευνας, παρουσιάζει άγνωστες πτυχές της δραστηριότητας των Βρετανικών μυστικών υπηρεσιών στην Ανατολική Μεσόγειο και στην Ελλάδα κατά τη διάρκεια του Β' Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου, και επικεντρώνεται στα έργα και ημέρες του φιλέλληνα υποπλοιάρχου Noël Rees, που υπήρξε Πρόξενος της Μεγάλης Βρετανίας και επικεφαλής της MI6, MI9 και άλλων βρετανικών μυστικών υπηρεσιών στη Σμύρνη, μέχρι την Απελευθέρωση.<br />
O Noël Rees βοήθησε πολλούς έλληνες αξιωματικούς να διαφύγουν από την κατεχόμενη Ελλάδα για να συνεχίσουν τον αγώνα κατά του Άξονα με τις ελεύθερες ελληνικές στρατιωτικές δυνάμεις στη Μέση Ανατολή. Ένας από αυτούς τους αξιωματικούς που βοήθησε ο Noël Rees να διαφύγουν ήταν και ο παππούς μου <a href="http://www.mezeviris.gr/" target="_blank">Ναύαρχος Μεζεβίρης</a>, Ανώτερος Διοικητής Αντιτορπιλικών, που μετά τον τραυματισμό του κατά την <a href="http://www.mezeviris.gr/HYDRA.html" target="_blank">καταβύθιση του αντιτορπιλικού ΥΔΡΑ</a> στις 22 Απριλίου 1941, κατάφερε να <a href="http://www.mezeviris.gr/theescapetoegypt.html" target="_blank">διαφύγει στην Αίγυπτο</a>.<br />
<br />
"Ο Άγγλος Πρόξενος" του Πέτρου Μακρή - Στάϊκου, εκδόθηκε το 2011 στην Αθήνα από την ΩΚΕΑΝΙΔΑ<br />
