Where Eagles Dare

by Alistair MacLean

Lieutenant Morris Schaffer, of the American Office of Strategic Services and Smith’s second-in-command,

Olaf Christiansen, a flaxen-haired first cousin of Leif Ericsson, Lee Thomas, a short dark Welshman—both those men seemed slightly amused—and Torrance-Smythe, as languidly aristocratic-looking as any ci-devant French count that ever rode a tumbrel, a doleful ex-Oxford don who clearly wished he were back among the University cloisters.

George Harrod, a stocky army sergeant radio-operator with an expression of profound resignation on his face.
