“Wet and Dry” traces the life of Commander Geoffrey Greenish whose adventurous career spanned some forty-seven years. For many years, a seagoing Naval Officer, the author rose from cadet to Commander of a variety of ships. This “wet” stage of his career was followed, because of his knowledge of the Middle East, as an Intelligence Officer in Beirut as part of the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS). Finally he joined the Joint Intelligence Staff as Duty Intelligence Officer in the Cabinet Office in London which he describes as his “dry” years.
