Book summary


An early novel from the respected author of the Aubrey/Maturin series, HUSSEIN is the story of a young man who trains elephants in Iraq.


Media reviews


"O'Brian times the narrative perfectly; there is barely a moment to catch your breath before Hussein dives into another adventure....although O'Brian had never been to India at the time he wrote HUSSEIN, he convincingly conveys a sense of time and place. The pleasure O'Brian himself takes in the storyteller's art is evident...."
