A masterwork of wartime suspense, Where Eagles Dare thrusts readers into the frozen heart of Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. A crack team of Allied agents — led by British Major John Smith and American Ranger Lieutenant Morris Schaffer — parachutes behind enemy lines on a seemingly impossible mission: to rescue a captured American general from the impenetrable Castle of the Eagle, a Gestapo stronghold high in the Bavarian Alps. As the mission unfolds, MacLean orchestrates a relentless series of double-crosses, hidden identities, and explosive action sequences that keep the tension coiled to breaking point. Written with the precision of a military briefing and the pace of a runaway locomotive, this novel stands as one of the finest espionage thrillers of the twentieth century, and was subsequently adapted into a celebrated 1968 film starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood.
