One in a long line of Makinders who have commanded the regiment, Murdoch joins the Royal Western Dragoon Guards as a Lieutenant before the Boer War. More dangerous than the perils of war, however, is the envy of his fellow officers and the double edge of his most cherished friendship.
The third and final volume of "The Regiment" trilogy by the author of many historical adventures, this completes the story of Sir Murdoch Mackinder's military career - covering his covert operations in Yugoslavia, fighting alongside Tito's Partisans, and culminating in the Battle of the Bulge.
