’Deighton really is something special’ Sunday Times
Len Deighton’s only collection of short stories explores the devastating experiences of ordinary soldiers across over two thousand years of war. From Hannibal’s march on Rome to the American Civil War, and from a British Hurricane pilot in the Second World War to a modern conflict played out in the Mexican borderlands, each of these stories shows the effects of war on the human character, and how it can lead to extraordinary deeds, both great and terrible.
’Len Deighton is a fearless observer of the deceptive human world’ John Gray
