5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional combination of Great War and Great Character, 18 Feb 2002
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
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

3.0 out of 5 stars Past is a foreign country, 7 Jun 2007
By Toby Smith (Chatham, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Interesting tale of intrigue stretching back to the First World War. Particularly good are the careful way the characters are described and vivid way they speak, with a wonderful attention to detail. Also interesting to 'hear' First World War veterans as old men, whereas the veterans of a generation later were still middle aged and tinkering with cars! France truly seems a foreign country in the 1970s. I can't say the plot swept me along, though, and the outcome never seemed as important to the free world as it was supposed to be.
