“Gunner Kelly”, published in 1982, so constituting one of Price’s later works, is subtly different to some of his other, more historically located, works. Yes, there’s some history - discussions of World War II armoured warfare and the Roman presence in Britain, but by no means is this at the heart of the story. Nor are the usual protagonists David Audley and Paul Mitchell at the heart of the work, instead the story comes very largely from the perspective of German intelligence office Benedikt Schneider. As such it’s strongly reminiscent of Le Carre’s “The Honourable Schoolboy”, and is very nearly as good.
