About the Author
Alistair MacLean, the son of a Scots minister, was 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 schoolmaster. The two and a half years he spent aboard a wartime cruiser were to give him the background for HMS Ulysses, his remarkably successful first novel, published in 1955. He is now recognized as one of the outstanding popular writers of the 20th century, the author of 29 worldwide bestsellers, many of which have been filmed. He died in 1987.

@HowardLinskey @neillancaster66 I met Elliott Kastner (the film's producer), when I was a film agent. He must have a multiple production deal with Alistair MacLean. Total fanboy, I told him Where Eagles Dare is one of my all time favourite films.
Praise for this book
'The most successful British novelist of his time'
Jack Higgins
'The best adventure story I have ever read'
Richard Burton
'A real humdinger. The best MacLean.'
Daily Mirror
'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.'
