He had twenty years and more of active service behind him — from the trenches of World War 1, to a riot-torn India, and from the Spanish Civil War to a heroic rearguard action at Dunkirk. His tactical brilliance and unquestioned courage played their part in those victories. But there were other battles he had to fight — with the old guard who despised his unorthodox methods, with brother officers who could never accept a shopkeeper's son as one of their own, and with the women whose love he jeopardised in his determination to succeed. This is Miller's story — a vivid, unforgettable portrait of a soldier. And this too is John Masters' epitaph — the novel that only he, with his first-hand knowledge of military life, could write. `A splendid storyteller and a master at describing battles and campaigns' - Daily Telegraph. Lieutenant Colonel John Masters, DSO (1914–1983) was an English officer in the Indian Army who fought in World War Two, and later a novelist. His works are noted for their descriptions of the British Empire in India. Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent publisher of digital books. ...more
