Editorial Reviews
“A real humdinger. The best MacLean.” —Daily Mirror (London)
“There is a splendid audacity about Where Eagles Dare, in which a handful of British agents invade an ‘impenetrable’ Gestapo command post…MacLean offers a real dazzler of a thriller, with vivid action, fine set pieces of suspense, and a virtuoso display of startling plot twists.” —New York Times Book Review
“A thoroughly professional read it now, see it later, spy story which will attach your adrenal glands in a masterful manner. One of MacLean’s achievements is that he works his will with a minimum of props (and sex) and engineers an intricate plot With the last act coming up with another astonishing surprise…A predictably, justifiably popular entertainment.” —Kirkus Reviews
Alistair MacLean (1922–1987) was a Scottish author of popular thrillers and adventure stories. His best-known works include The Guns of Navarone, Ice Station
Zebra, and Where Eagles Dare, all of which were the basis for major motion pictures. He was the son of a minister brought up in the Scottish Highlands. In 1941 he joined the Royal
Navy. After the war he read English at Glasgow University and became a teacher. Two and a half years spent aboard a wartime cruiser gave him the background for HMS Ulysses, his remarkably
successful first novel, published in 1955. His books are estimated to have sold over 150 million copies. He is now recognized as one of the outstanding popular writers of the twentieth century, the
author of twenty-nine worldwide bestsellers, many of which have been filmed.
