White Eagles Over Serbia Lawrence Durrell Books

This is a very good espionage / thriller novel. It is very well written, with a plausible plot, decent characterization, and fantastic descriptions of the post war Yugoslav atmoshere, both geographic and human. I really wish Durrell had stuck with this genre. He could have given LeCarre some competition.

White Eagles Over Serbia Lawrence Durrell Books Reviews

Durrell's 1957 espionage classic is just as fresh and exciting as ever. Methuen, intrepid British secret service veteran, tramps about the mountains of southern Serbia in search of the White Eagles, a band of rebels to Tito's regime who support the long-deposed Yugoslav royal family and have come across a great secret. Lovers of the spy genre will enjoy this book immensely. Those interested in the Balkans will revel in Durrell's descriptions of the landscape and people of Serbia. The White Eagles do exist, in fact a modern incarnation was a paramilitary band responsible for much terror and mayhem in Bosnia in the 1992-5 war.
I had no idea that Lawrence Durrell had turned his hand to espionage novels until I stumbled across "White Eagles over Serbia" in a secondhand book store. It turned out to be richly atmospheric read reminiscent of Eric Ambler and Geoffrey Household's accounts of the lone man up against unseen and unknown enemy forces. It has dated a bit which isn't surprising and the scenic descriptions do get repetitive, but its strong local flavour and telling detail which reflect Durrell's own service with the Foreign Office in the region can't be beat. If you find it, read it.
This is a combination spy/adventure story. It was entertaining.
this was good. i have become a fan of lawrence durrell, i like his style.
All spy-novel fans should read this wonderful mysterious portrayal of post-war Balkans. Read it niw!
Great short read, very linear, unlike the quartet.
This could have been a hackneyed story except that Durrell tells it with vigor and gusto. A most eccentric writer. Worth reading.
