The article on his remarkable life should be supplemented from the the article Eastern Approaches, to flesh it out more.86.163.233.231 (talk) 22:41, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
The book is autobiographical, and only that material that can be reliably sourced from third parties can be used in this article. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 11:03, 24 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
No, the book and the biography are two different subjects, and should not be merged. But it is possible to use more of the book here, with attribution. --NSH001 (talk) 08:52, 16 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Agree that the merger is completely inappropriate, Fitzroy MacLean is completely notable on his own, as is his book. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 09:55, 16 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Agree with merger proposal. Autobiographical material may be quoted on a person's page if it is marked as such.Bmcln1 (talk) 12:14, 16 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
The merger proposal is completely inappropriate. Eastern Approaches is a major work and far more than mere autobiography: it contains a considerable amount of history and the author's own judgements of events and personalities. On the other hand, there was more to Maclean's life than Eastern Approaches. He deserves a separate article. Sasha (talk) 11:38, 1 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

The article says that Maclean 'rose to the rank of brigadier' but refers to this officer as a major general. He undoubtedly was a brigadier, but when was he promoted to major general? Shipsview (talk) 15:49, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Shipsview: As DuncanHill notes, Maclean was a local major-general at the end of the Second World War in charge of refugee commissions in Austria, Germany, and Italy. This was, however, only ever a local rank, and he reverted to brigadier afterwards (see for example The London Gazette in 1970). As such I've changed the article.
