Review
More enthralling than most novels, this is Maclean's account of his adventures in Soviet Central Asia between the wars and in German-occupied Yugoslavia, where he parachuted behind the lines to meet with Tito and his partisans. He also describes the last of Stalin's state trials, which he attended as an official observer. A man of action who can write with elegance and humour, Maclean has produced a classic. - review by Karen Wadman
