Par des romans fins et délicats, il s'est imposé, marquant de son style tout le monde des lettres. C'est par "Les silences du colonel Bramble" qu'André Maurois devient célèbre. Pour écrire ce premier roman, Maurois s'est inspiré de sa propre expérience d'officier de liaison auprès de l'armée britannique.
