Product Description

Product Description

Paul Mitchell spends his days locked in the past researching World War I. Until, that is, the present catches up with him in the shape of Dr Audley of the MoD. Why does Audley want to know the truth about the battle for Hameau Ridge on the Somme in 1916? The answer is complex and dangerous.

His 1970 debut, THE LABYRINTH MAKERS, won the CWA Silver Dagger; his hero, Dr David Audley, historian and spy, featured in this and 18 subsequent novels. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional combination of Great War and Great Character, 18 Feb 2002
This review is from: Other Paths to Glory (Crime Masterworks) (Paperback)
In David Audley and Paul Mitchel and subsequently other players Anthony Price has created an ordered conflict of imense proportions. Throughout the series of Novels it slowly becomes clear that the expected roles of father figure and son are not filled.

This is the first novel in which Paul is introduced to Audley. It is a novel which uses its authors knowlege of the Great War to propel the protagonists to an unusual and attention grabbing conclusion.

This and the other books in the series have given me great pleasure; Mr. Price has captured the mindset of the subaltern of the mid 20th century, the warrior of the Great War and the civil servant of the late 20th century (and no caps for those beggars) with skill, wit, and some not insubstantial humour.

Should you even hazard a guess as to the "Shaws of Tripoli" are, or even know the lyrics to "The Halls of Montezuma" then you may appreciate Mr. Price.

Sadly I have never met him to say thankyou for all the pleasure he has given me.

Simon

5.0 out of 5 stars Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, 7 April 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Other Paths to Glory (Crime Masterworks) (Paperback)
My personal favourite of Price's Cold War espionage thrillers, but then I prefer the First World War to the Second (read it to see what I mean).

Make sure you read the series in the right order, or you'll be terminally confused - the personalities and the events are as complex as real life, and the present is dictated by the past, both the individual's and deeper history

5.0 out of 5 stars An absorbing historical crime thriller, 1 Jul 2008
By M. Pennington (Leeds) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Other Paths to Glory (Crime Masterworks) (Paperback)
I don't often buy "bargain" books, but this was an excellent exception. A smoothly written and enlightening historical story. If you've finished Robert Harris, you might look here, although the political side is played down rather.
