Diane asked David Gilman:

I've enjoyed the Master of War series. Cross of Fire was particularly interesting having visited places such as Bordeaux, Perigueax, Nimes, Avignon, Arles, and Carcassone - you capture the geography and landscape well. While somewhat familiar with the later part of the period (Azincourt, St Emilion, Joan of Arc), the evolution is interesting. Many parallels to Napoleonic wars do you agree?

David Gilman Diane, this is very strange.
Your message via Goodreads has just popped up from 11 months ago. So there is clearly a disconnect somewhere. Did I ever answer your question? Forgive me if I did not. I can't explain why this has happened.
Yes, the evolution of history and war has a habit of repeating itself - we just find more violent and effective means of killing each other as time moves on. Again, my apologies, and my thanks for taking the time to get in touch. Best wishes, David

Sudhagar asked David Gilman:

Hi David, I was very impressed with the Englishman especially the scenes from the Mali war as well as the Russian penal colony. Such a level of realism and scenes are unusual for a book in English. May I know did you carry out the research for this as such information are not easily available in English language?
