Index

The main biographical entry is put first and printed in bold figures. Bodies (such as the F.L.N. and O.A.S.) are indexed under their initials, not under their full titles, which are alphabetised as if they were single words.

The links below refer to the page references of the printed edition of
A Savage War of Peace
. While the numbers do not correspond to the page numbers or locations on an electronic reading device, they are retained as they can convey useful information regarding the position and amount of space devoted to an indexed entry. Because the size of a page varies in reflowable documents such as this e-book, it may be necessary to scroll down to find the referenced entry after following a link.
