Summary:
"Set during the height of World War I in January 1918,
Goshawk
Squadron
follows the misfortunes of a British flight
squadron
on the Western Front. For Stanley Woolley, commanding officer of
Goshawk
Squadron
, the romance of chivalry in the clouds is just a myth. The code he drums into his men is simple and savage: shoot the enemy in the back before he knows you're there. Even so, he believes the whole
squadron
will be dead within three months. A monumental work at the time of its original release, Booker-shortlisted
Goshawk
Squadron
is now viewed as a classic in the mode of Catch 22. Wry, brutal, cynical and hilarious, the men of Robinson's
squadron
are themselves an embodiment of the maddening contradictions of war: as much a refined troop of British gentleman as they are a viscous band of brothers hell-bent on staying alive and winning the war."--From publisher.
