I know I've written this before, but wow, how many good novels did Le Carré manage to write over the course of his stellar career?!?
Our Game managed to give me a better understanding of Winchester College, the obscenely posh school a friend of mine often reminisces about. It also highlights the prescience of Le Carré, ultimately able to focus on problems brewing in the Caucasus before anyone in the West had ever heard of Ossetia, let alone thought about it for longer than 15 miliseconds.
And as it often happens this book leaves the reader wondering about what fights are just, and what fights are worth joining.
