"This I loved. It read like an adventure novel. The writing just flows and you never, ever feel like you are reading a boring history book. The struggle, the spirit, the dedication of these young men on all sides of the conflict are riveting. May it be the German special officers that cross the Persian Desert into Afghanistan thru enemy lines of Russian Cossack and British/Indian soldiers; the diplomatic British officers in far Eastern mission surrounded by the Turks army and surrendering; the dashing British spies that ride the train thru Kazans territory in a body armored wagon. It's enlightening and you end up looking at the present situation with a whole new set of reference and point of views."
