Malcolm Archibald

Against the turbulent backdrop of the 1930s, Douglas Tulloch navigates the treacherous terrains of India's Northwest Frontier and the early tremors of World War II in France. Thrust in the middle of tribal rebellions, covert missions and old-school rivalries, Tulloch grapples with the true essence of leadership. The repercussions of his decisions will follow him from the alleys of Brussels to the shores of Dunkirk.

Tulloch’s mettle is put to the test, as confrontations with Italian spies, confrontations with old adversaries and the moral intricacies of warfare push him to the brink. Sometimes, the line between right and wrong isn't as clear as the "Thin Red Line" he admired as a boy.

The first novel in Malcolm Archibald's 'Tulloch at War' series, NOW I AM A SOLDIER is an intimate portrait of a soldier's journey, from cadet to battle-hardened officer.

Now I Am A Soldier

Returning from Dunkirk, Lieutenant Douglas Tulloch and the Lothian Rifles help defend Britain from the threat of German invasion.

Tulloch feels that all is not right with the battalion. When the Lothians are sent to Egypt to prepare for an Italian attack, others share Tulloch’s view, as Brigadier Worthington criticises the battalion’s performance in battle.

The Lothians share in O’Connor’s victorious advance in Operation Compass, but are sent to Eritrea in early 1941. Can they overcome the malaise that seems to have followed them from Dunkirk, or will the Italian defence of Keren be one battle too many?

THE REGIMENT THAT LOST ITS SOUL is the second book in 'Tulloch at War', a series of historical war novels by Malcolm Archibald.
