Fighter by Len Deighton
Summer, 1940: western Europe has been conquered, and all that stands between Hitler and the invasion of England is the matter of air supremacy. And the RAF‘Compelling reading … a praiseworthy attempt to compress into one short volume one of the most vital albeit brief periods of European history’ Financial Times
‘[Fighter] must surely rank as the most honest attempt yet to tell how the Battle of Britain really was’ Observer
‘The best, most dispassionate story of the battle that I have read, and I say that even though the book destroyed many of my illusions’ New York Times
Born in London, Len Deighton served in the RAF before graduating from the Royal College of Art (which recently elected him a Senior Fellow). While in New York City working as a magazine illustrator he began writing his first novel, ‘The Ipcress File’, which was published in 1962. He is now the author of more than thirty books of fiction and non-fiction. At present living in Europe, he has, over the years, lived with his family in ten different countries from Austria to Portugal.
