4.0 out of 5 stars Still a powerful English author, January 16, 1998

Michael Gilbert, while a master of the short story, is still putting out excellent novels. I sometimes feel he is the most traditional of English authors and may lose some non- anglophile readers. As he has aged his work may have lost a step but this book is still first class reading and opens up a view of the first World War many Americans do not know.

3.0 out of 5 stars Maybe a Master, but regretfully didn't get it, November 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Into Battle (Hardcover)

This is a typical old British zigzagging slow-motion thriller(?) that needed you to read along with an English housekeeper's patience. I prefer Forsyth, Follett and Archer's modern English more than this Grand Diamond Dagger Master's, and would like to skip it anytime possible; just a personal thought.
