There were a number of fascinating facts on a number of aspects of this period of war-torn Europe, when Britain fought to defeat a maniac. The Bomber Command was central to this crusade. I am more interested here about the 3-page forward. 3-pages of forward is significant, and it is interesting to note that the concluding volume of Bernard Samson trilogy was published in 1996, the same year this book was also published. In writing this significant forward, Deighton then presumably had some time to think about the RAF raids on Germany and on the effects of bombing raids on London and Germany alike at different times in the above period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
