Compton Mackenzie (1914)

Compton Mackenzie
Sir Compton Mackenzie (17 January 1883 – 30 November 1972) was a Scottish writer, political activist, and broadcaster. During World War I, he worked with British Intelligence to produce propaganda and conduct espionage in Gallipoli and Greece. He later moved with his wife to Capri, which inspired his novels satirizing the island's queer residents. Additional novels, histories, and memoirs construct the bulk of his work, although he spent much time advocating for Scottish self-determination.
