Book Reviews of Mission to Tashkent
Book Review: A Thriller That Is True!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book reads as though it were one of John Buchan's more memorable thrillers -- except that it is true! COL F. M. Bailey, who would have made a great model for Buchan's hero, Sir Richard Hannay, was sent in the midst of the Russian Civil War to find out what was happening. Hairbreadth escapes, feats of daring-do, and remarkable coincidences all combine to make this book a fascinating read...and how may spies get hired to arrest themselves? This book is a must for anyone interested in 'The Great Game,' (which still goes on with newer players), the Silk Road (where the book is set), or Central Asia will find this a great read, and a first-class adventure yarn!
