	Fitzroy Maclean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maclean rose from private to officer rank, and Winston Churchill personally chose him to lead a liaison mission to central Yugoslavia, where Tito and his partisans were emerging as a major irritant to the German control of the Balkans.
		MacLean was a brilliant practitioner in the T.E. Lawrence brand of fighting, and he reported directly to Churchill the two meeting in Cairo.
		MacLean's relationship with Tito's partisans was uneasy, partly because they were Communist, and he was a member of the Scottish aristocracy who had witnessed Stalinism in action.

		Believing that his office, home and telephones were tapped, Maclean would keep even his superiors in the dark before he leapt into a waiting car or on the back of a commandeered horse, leading both the secret police and his own government on a chase through Central Asia and the Caucasus.
		Maclean's reports - between descriptions of his arrests by the NKVD - drew on his interviews with locals and observations of a country ripped apart by the most intense, savage streak of repression in history.
		A more fitting epitaph for Fitzroy Maclean were the words of Sir John Colville, who once described him as "A man of action who is also a master of the English language." And one of the greatest, if least acknowledged, of the "new explorers" of the last hundred years.

	Maclean
		The Macleans of Duart had held the earlier office of Chamberlain to the Lord of the Isles, a title which was confirmed by the crown in 1495 even after the Lordship was abolished.
		He and Maclean of Lochbuie were among the barons of the Isles who accompanied Donald Dubh to Ireland, and at the command of the Earl of Lennox, claiming to be regent of Scotland, swore allegiance to the king of England.
		The quarrel between the Macleans and the Macdonalds of Isla and Kintyre attracted, in 1589, the serious attention of the king and council, thus the rival chiefs, with Macdonald of Sleat, were summoned to Edinburgh.

	Introduction of Sir Fitzroy Maclean - The Churchill Centre
		The relationship between them was close, and I think I may say crucial, from the time in 1943, when the Prime Minister appointed Sir Fitzroy to Brigadier and asked him to lead the British mission to Tito, whose Yugoslav partisans had already spent two years battling the German occupation.
		Sir Fitzroy Maclean was financial secretary at the War Office from 1954 to 1957.
		But history will certainly record him as one of a very large, and perhaps not well enough known cadre who served Winston Churchill, their country, and indeed all the English-Speaking Peoples with consummate skill and devotion during the greatest war in history, as the terror of imminent extinction flickered.
