      “The Reality Of Colditz Is Much More Interesting Than The Black-and-white Moral Fable”

      Sep 29, 2022

      In your new book you discuss a myth of Colditz that needs to be challenged. What is this myth and how did it come about? Those of us of a certain age grew up with the great BBC TV series about Colditz and, also, in my case, the board game Escape from

    • 4/5
      The 3rd in the 7 Harry Palmer books. This story covers the classic defection sub-genre, again with double and triple crosses as well as check-point-charlie drama all adding to a great page turner.
    • 5/5
      I think, one of the few spy novels you'll read that has footnotes and an appendix. Doing a Google search on places and things referenced (i.e., "the Lighthouse cinema in Calcutta," or "topees piping 'Over the Seas to Sky'") will probably have to wait for me until the second reading. Even though my book's cover has a photo of Michael Caine, it's more Ian Holm I'm picturing as our hero. He is the antithesis of "Bond, James Bond." He has no name, but in this story he's assigned the name "Dorf."
    • 5/5
      One of the most complex plots of any book I've read, but hugely enjoyable.
    • 3/5
      Enjoyable, and often quite funny, thriller, marred by a wholly implausible final action scene.
