Synopsis

In "Blitzkrieg", Len Deighton turns a searchlight on the rise of Hitler, the lightning dash of his armies to the Channel coast in 1940 and on the debacle of Dunkirk, where - in a mistake that was to trigger his eventual downfall - a quarter of a million British troops were allowed to escape.

Media Reviews
Len Deighton's Blitzkrieg has a freshness that makes it welcome. Deighton has keenly wanted to find out and explain the matter for himself, and has then retained the flavour of discovery for his audience. It is an attractive technique with a genuine ring. -Tony Haworth, Times Educational Supplement What Mr. Deighton did for the Battle of Britain in Fighter, he has done for the land war here . . . a rattling good yarn helped by outstandingly useful illustrations. -James Cameron, Guardian
