Description: Malcolm MacPhail's Great War by Darrell Duthie The horror of war. The valour of men. A war-weary young officer joins the intelligence staff as WW1 near a critical juncture. A meticulously researched historical novel set in the final decisive years of the war. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Fall 1917. The Western Front is in stalemate. Captain Malcolm MacPhail of the Canadian Corps has been in the trenches for longer than he cares to remember. Hes just landed a new job on the intelligence staff, but if he thinks staying alive is going to become any easier, hes sorely mistaken. The rain is pelting down, the shells are flying and the dreaded battle for Passchendaele looms. Malcolm reckons matters can still get worse. Which proves to be an accurate assessment, especially as his unruly tongue has a habit of making enemies all on its own. The Allies are fighting desperately to swing the tide of war, and Malcolms future hangs in the balance, so keeping his head down is simply not an option...*****PRAISE for Malcolm MacPhails Great War*****"Darrell Duthie skilfully blends history and fiction... He brings his invented hero, Malcolm MacPhail, into conjunction with real characters, to inform and stimulate readers... Malcolm MacPhails Great War is realistic and often gripping... deserves a Mentioned-in-Despatches at least!" -- DR. PETER STANLEY, professor, former principal historian of the Australian War Memorial, author"The concept of trench warfare...is a prominent theme in this very readable work of faction... The friction between HQ politics and the front line resonates throughout this tale. All in all, it is an enjoyable read." - SOLDIER MAGAZINE (magazine of the British Army) Author Biography Darrell Duthie lives in the Netherlands, not far from the battlefields of the First World War. He grew up throughout Canada, but spent most of his youth in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains in Calgary, Alberta where he studied Political Science & Economics, and thought briefly of joining the Navy. Instead he moved to the Netherlands to complete an MBA. After a career in the European equity markets he embarked upon a new one writing historical fiction.
