The print edition

Reviewed in India on 22 December 2018

First, this HP print edition is worth as an easy to read and to preserve book.
Second, Alistair Maclean books are surprisingly hard to find now a days along with Desmond Bagley books.
Third, Where Eagles Dare as a book is unique in that the movie is almost verbatim and scene by scene based on the book. This is rare. Like Guns of Navarone, the book, is quite a bit off the movie. So in that sense the plot reads like a screenplay only with more detail thrown in. And this adds to the pleasure of reading the book after watching the movie, which again is rare.
As far as the plot goes, the plausibility of the plot is enhanced by the author's dexterity of drawing out the characters and events in such detail. Of course, the basic flaw of the plot lies in its basic premise itself : why go to such lengths to dupe four quite dull spies into giving up a list of contacts ? Such dupes could have been misled into giving up the contacts under a more devious and yet less drastic manner.

Excellent book. Nothing to say about it. It is world famous.
It was so outstanding that a world class movie was made on it.

Completely action oriented with the classic wry Scottish humor

I grew up reading all Alistair Maclean's novels, watched the movies adapted from these novels and left with enduring memories. These master creations will continue to regale young and old for times to come and highly recommended as these also help to improve English language skills. Inimitable style!!

Classic McLean/WW2 - Fantastic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2018

Verified Purchase

Having seen the film dozens of times, I thought I'd have a crack at the book as it was on offer, and I was not disappointed. The premise is that of a small group of Allied (there is a token America who, when I first watched the film, I assumed was added to appeal to the US market - Clint Eastwood as a young man), commandos are tasked with rescuing a captured US General from an all-but impregnable Nazi SS castle in the Bavarian Alps.
As might be expected, all is not what it seems, and the plot rattles along with its twists and turns like the bus racing towards the airfield towards the end. The scenery that is so key to the film is brilliantly described, from the shivery Alpine blizzard, to the tightly packed, sweaty bar and the imposing Bavarian castle.
The classic 'Broadsword calling Danny Boy' callsign certainly brought back memories of the film, which I was 'forced' to watch once again after reading the book. If you like a wartime thriller, this is for you.

Good yarn but terrible writing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2020

Verified Purchase

I first read this when I was at school so when I saw it available at a special price I decided I had to read it again. I really wish I hadn't bothered now. As a schoolboy one tends to be more focussed on the story, which is fun if silly - as proved by the film I've nothing against silly stories so that was fine. What I hadn't appreciated back then was what a terrible writer Alistair Maclean was. The dialogue is utterly unrealistic, the characters are cardboard cut-outs and his attempts to paint pictures with words are stiff and cliched. I got about 60% of the way through and decided I just couldn't be bothered to finish it.

Not so good the second time round

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2019

Verified Purchase

Read this years ago and enjoyed it. On second reading it is clear it hasn’t aged well. Mistakes aplenty on page one (Lancaster’s didn’t have co-pilots and were not used for parachute drops for a start). The style is very outmoded but the story is still a decent one. Like most things, our tastes change.

Where Eagles Dare 1967

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 June 2017

Verified Purchase

One of MacLean's best books as far as excitement, action and amazing plot twists go. This story is action-packed from the start and tension never lets up. Along with The Golden Rendevous1962 and Breakheart Pass1974, this, for me, encapsulates the very best of this author's' novels. More of MacLean's novels have been made into films than any other 20th-century author! Such is the impact of his writing! Fully recommend this book to all.

Nostalgic Military Thriller

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2015

Verified Purchase

Classic Alistair MacLean stuff and a bit of a nostalgia trip if I'm honest. When I was younger MacLean was the man to go to for thrillers and he certainly was good at writing them.

Now, this is one of his best ones - but actually not quite as good as the film which is an utter classic. What I do note with the passing of years and a more jaded eye is that MacLean either does not do much in the way of research or does not let material facts get in the way of a good story. Given that today most authors who write in this genre - the better ones that is - do a fair bit of checking to make sure that facts are correct, reading a book where they don't seem important is slightly jarring.

Overall though a great military romp that's fast paced well written.
