excerpt..."His book, "Target Patton", contains interviews with Mr Bazata, who died in 1999,..."

Mr Bazata led an extraordinary life. He was a member of the Jedburghs, the elite unit who parachuted into France to help organise the Resistance in the run up to D-Day in 1944. He earned four purple hearts, a Distinguished Service Cross and the French Croix de Guerre three times over for his efforts.

After the war he became a celebrated artist who enjoyed the patronage of Princess Grace of Monaco and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

He was friends with Salvador Dali, who painted a portrait of Bazata as Don Quixote.

He ended his career as an aide to President Ronald Reagan's Navy Secretary John Lehman, a member of the 9/11 Commission and adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign.

Really? Did he come back to life? Or, was he just "undead"?

“He ended his career as an aide to President Ronald Reagan’s Navy Secretary John Lehman, a member of the 9/11 Commission and adviser to John McCain’s presidential campaign.”

“Really? Did he come back to life? Or, was he just “undead”?”

You are reading it incorrectly. John Lehman was a member of the 9/11 Commission and adviser to John McCain’s presidential campaign. The author was stating who John Lehman was.
