Goshawk Squadron
Autor Derek Robinsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 oct 2005
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.

Notă biografică
Derek
Robinson
is
a
policeman's
son
from
a
council
estate
who
crossed
the
class
barrier
by
going
to
Cambridge,
where
he
got
a
degree
in
history
and
learned
to
write
badly.
A
stint
in
advertising
in
London
and
New
York
changed
that,
and
in
1971
he
finally
got
it
right
when
Goshawk
Squadron
was
shortlisted
for
the
Booker
Prize.
His
equally
acclaimed
trilogy
of
World
War
Two
novels
are
Piece
of
Cake,
A
Good
Clean
Fight
and
Damned
Good
Show.
His
other
novels
include
The
Eldorado
Network
and
Artillery
of
Lies.
