Alexander William Sheppard MC (2 June 1913 – 11 June 1997) was an Australian soldier, bookseller, publisher and writer.[1][2][3] Rising to the rank of Colonel during World War II, he won the Military Cross for his role in the Allied evacuation from Greece in 1941. As a post–1945 rehabilitation officer in Greece he denounced the atrocities of the Greek Civil War and became an "outspoken critic" of British policies and the Greek governments Britain supported.[4] In the 1960s he fought against book censorship in Australia.
