The Statesman's Game

Europe, 1944. Major Tulloch and the battle-hardened Lothian Rifles stand on the edge of history as the Allies prepare for the D-Day landings. Among them is Intelligence Officer Ruthven, who answers to no one in Tulloch’s chain of command. When Ruthven’s schemes lead to needless deaths and missions deep behind German lines, Tulloch begins to question his orders. Then comes a mission that could change everything: a raid to capture a German scientist developing a weapon capable of turning the tide of war. To succeed, Tulloch must lead his men through chaos and some of the deadliest battles they have ever faced. Set in the decisive days of World War Two, THE STATESMAN'S GAME is the fifth book in Malcolm Archibald's Tulloch at War series.
