It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, war literature, or simply a well-crafted story with memorable characters.Even after they unmasked Talbot I had neither the heart nor the inclination to turn him down. Indeed, had not some of the passengers testified that I belonged to a different profession, the smoking-room crowd would have quarantined me as his accomplice. On the first night I met him I was not certain whether he was English or giving an imitation. All the outward and visible signs were English, but he told me that, though he had been educated at Oxford and since then had spent most of his years in India, playing polo, he was an American.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
