"Goodbye Mickey Mouse" is Len Deighton's finest novel since Bomber. Seen through the eyes of many different characters, this book offers a rare and penetrating insight into every kind of military mind
Review:
‘It is a novel of memory, satisfying on every imaginable level, but truly astonishing in its recreation of a time and place through minute detail. Deighton has written well of the air before, nonfictionally, and he informs us in an afterword that it took six years of research to do this novel. It shows. The only way you could know more about flying a P-51 Mustang, after reading this book, is to have flown one.’ Washington Post
‘He writes, as usual, with authority and a superb sense of period’ Daily Telegraph
‘The sheer charge of the writing swept me into another world all the while I was reading, and now that piece of the past is a piece in my mind.’ HRF Keating, The Times
‘A master of fictional espionage.’ Daily Mail
‘The poet of the spy story.’ Sunday Times
‘For sheer readability he has no peer’ The Standard
