Where were you at Waterloo?
My first novel, written in Cambridge, Massachusetts, just across the road from Harvard Law School. As the reviews suggest, I was having a go at the absurdities of military life.The book’s themes of equipment shortages and troops returning from combat to an indifferent public were echoed in the early days of the Afghan war.
‘As a satire on military bigotry and shambling officialdom Where were you at Waterloo? is in places as sharp as Waugh and sometimes better’ – Times Literary Supplement
‘Combines military satire with exotic thrills in a book reminiscent at its best of that sublime beast Black Mischief’ – Financial Times
‘All good, clean fun and never heavy-handed’ – Daily Telegraph
‘Passages of pure comic pleasure’ – Spectator
