In South Africa, Matthew Hervey clashes with the Warrior King of the Zulu.
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.
Puts the reader firmly in the middle of the most blood-boltered of
battles...historical fiction readers of robust tastes need look no
further.
*THE TIMES*
Immaculately researched, with every detail of the cavalry
spectacularly drawn, this is the work of an intensely accomplished
historical novelist. Hervey's thrilling battles make for richly
engaging old-fashioned storytelling.
*DAILY MAIL*
Battle scenes are what he does best.
