Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

ALAN was a journalist who covered most of the world's trouble spots, among them Vietnam, Israel during the Six Day War, Czechoslovakia during the Soviet invasion, Ulster, Mozambique, and Rhodesia. He gained a controversial reputation: in Algeria both the French army and the Arabs complained about him; in Beirut he encountered Kim Philby the day before he left for Moscow. Alan was also involved in the Hungarian Revolution, and bluffed his way into East Germany when it was closed to the world. He has put all this experience to excellent use in books that will thrill fans of Len Deighton, Ian Fleming, and the great spy stories that kept viewers spellbound in the 1960s and 70s.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nobody did it better
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 13, 2014
    When it came to action-adventure stories of young, dissolute and slightly desperate Englishmen abroad in exotic and often violent locations, no one did it better than Alan Williams in his early thrillers such as Long Run South (Morocco), Barbouze (Greece and Algeria) and Snake Water (the jungles of South America). Apart from being thrilling stories in their own right, they are often insightful, sometimes cynical, reflections on politics and human frailty. Disgracefully forgotten, Williams was a terrific writer and is long overdue a revival.
