Matthew Hervey lays siege to the grim fortress of Bhurtpore
A professional solder for thirty-five years, Allan Mallinson began
writing while still serving.
His first book was a history of four regiments of British light
dragoons, one of which he commanded. His debut novel was the
bestselling A Close Run Thing, the first in an acclaimed series
chronicling the life of a fictitious cavalry officer before and
after Waterloo (The Tigress of Mysore is the fourteenth in the
series). His The Making of the British Army was shortlisted for a
number of prizes, while 1914- Fight the Good Fight won the British
Army's 'Book of the Year' Award. Its sequel, Too Important for the
Generals, is a provocative look at leadership during the Great War,
while Fight to the Finish is a comprehensive history of the First
World War, month by month.
Allan Mallinson reviews for the Spectator and the TLS and also
writes for The Times. He lives on Salisbury Plain.
"'Splendid...the tale is as historically stimulating as it is stirringly exciting'" Sunday Telegraph "'What a hero! What an author! What a book! A joy for the lover of adventure and military buff alike'" The Times "We have joined for action and to see the world and that is what we get...a novel for our time, perhaps?" Spectator "Hervey is the thinking man's Sharpe. Mallinson is the true heir to Patrick O'Brian" Daily Mirror "'Mallinson's descriptions of regimental life and of the campaigns themselves ... crackle with detail and atmosphere ... Makes for an engrossing read, full of blood and valour.'" Observer
