PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Len Deighton is the author of over thirty bestsellers of carefully researched fiction and non-fiction. His history writing was encouraged by A. J. P. Taylor and his books are noted for the picture they provide of the German side of the fighting as well as that of the Allies. His books include Fighter- The True Story of the Battle of Britain and Blood, Tears and Folly- An Objective Look at World War II, both published by Pimlico.
What raises Deighton's genre to art is not only his absorbing characters but his metaphoric grace, droll wit, command of technical detail ... and sure sense of place. -- Andy Solomon * Washington Post * Deighton has shown himself to be the most protean of British best-sellers. -- John Sutherland * London Review of Books * For sheer readability he has no peer. * Evening Standard *
