A Close Run Thing
by Mallinson, Allan
"Stirring...stimulating...entertaining...a richness of detail."-USA Today"Now at last a highly literate, deeply read cavalry officer of high rank shows one the nature of horse-borne warfare....Colonel Mallinson's a close run thing is very much to be welcomed." -Patrick O'Brian author of the Aubrey-Maturin series"An astonishingly impressive debut in the field of Napoleonic fiction. Convincingly drawn, perfectly paced, and expertly written, this cavalryman's tale is a joy to read."-Anthony Beevor, author of Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege"A rousing...tale of valiant heroism and dashing derring-do."-Kirkus Reviews"Mallinson expertly captures both the glory and the gore of the battlefield in this sweeping saga.... An exciting historical adventure steeped in authentic military detail."-Booklist
