Synopsis

Bomber is a novel about the realities of war. There are no victors, no vanquished. There are simply those who remain alive, and those who die.

Bomber follows the progress of an Allied air raid through a period of 24 hours in the summer of 1943, portraying all the participants in a terrifying drama, both in the air and on the ground, in Britain and in Germany. In its documentary style, it is unique. In its emotional power, it is overwhelming.

Len Deighton has been equally acclaimed as a novelist and as an historian. In Bomber he has combined both talents to produce a masterpiece.

Review

Praise for Bomber:

'The magnificent Bomber is rich with historical detail' The Times

Praise for The Ipcress File:

'A spy story with a difference.' Observer

'A master of fictional espionage.' Daily Mail

'The Ipcress File helped change the shape of the espionage thriller...the prose is still as crisp and fresh as ever...there is an infectious energy about this book which makes it a joy to read, or re-read.' Daily Telegraph

'The self-conscious cool of Deighton's writing has dated in the best way possible...a stone-cold cold war classic.' Guardian

Praise for Funeral in Berlin:

'A ferociously cool fable, even better than The Spy Who Came In From the Cold'
New York Times

'A most impressive book in which the tension, more like a chronic ache than a sharp stab of pain, never lets go.'
Evening Standard
