Biographie de l'auteur
At seventeen, Allan Mallinson gave up the promise of an Exhibition at Oxford to go to theological college. After three years he took a break with a short-service commission in the army where he served with the infantry. On deciding to make the army a career, he transferred to the cavalry. He began writing while still serving – first, a history of the antecedent regiments of that which he commanded, and then the popular Matthew Hervey series, which chronicles the life of a fictitious cavalry officer before and after Waterloo. He left the army in 2004 as a brigadier to write full time, including defence comment for the Daily Telegraph and then The Times. He also reviews for the Spectator.
In 2009 his The Making of the British Army was shortlisted for several prizes and chosen by Jeremy Paxman as a ‘Book of the Year’. His centenary history, 1914: Fight the Good Fight – Britain, the Army and the Coming of the First World War was shortlisted for the Westminster Medal and won the British Army's Book of the Year Award. Its sequel, Too Important for the Generals - a provocative look at leadership during the war - was published in 2016.
Allan Mallinson lives on Salisbury Plain.
Quatrième de couverture
'Captain Matthew Hervey is as splendid a hero as ever sprang from an author's pen' The Times
India, 1824
Matthew Hervey and the 6th Light Dragoons are stationed in India, where conflagration looks set to flair.
The usurper prince, Durjan Sal, has taken refuge in the infamous fortress of Bhurtpore. A deep ditch, which can be flooded at a moment's notice, runs round it - and as its notorious Tower of Victory - built with the skulls of those who have failed to storm the walls - bears witness, it has withstood all attacks made on it.
Until now. Hot and dangerous work lies ahead for Matthew Hervey and his courageous troop who know their fortunes will be decided by the sabre's edge.
'Splendid ... the tale is as historically stimulating as it is stirringly exciting'
Andrew Roberts, Sunday Telegraph

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The year is 1824; the Sixth Light Dragoons are still stationed in India, and the talk in the officer's mess is of war. he Burmese are increasingly encroaching on Company land and skirmishes are becoming common on India's borders. Meanwhile across the country in Bhurtpoor the succession to the Raj has been usurped. The rightful claimant Balwant Sing has been forced from the throne by the war-mongerer Durjan Sal. The conflict looks set to flair up into bloody conflict, taking the surrounding provinces with it. With the threat of war on two fronts the British troops must intercede. he trial ahead will test Hervey and his newly blooded troop to their very limits, for Durjan Sal has taken refuge in the infamous fortress of Bhurtpoor. The fortress stands a little under five miles in perimeter, a deep ditch runs around it which can be flooded at a moment's notice, thirty-five turreted bastions rise from its thick and lofty walls. And as the Tower of Victory, built with the skulls of the Lord Lake's defeated men, bears witness, it has withstood all attacks made on it. But no fortress is impregnable, given the will, the wit and the means. Of one thing Hervey can be sure; the siege of Bhu. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR003856560
