Notă biografică
Len
Deightonwas
born
in
1929
in
London.
He
did
his
national
service
in
the
RAF,
went
to
the
Royal
College
of
Art
and
designed
many
book
jackets,
including
the
original
UK
edition
of
Jack
Kerouac'sOn
the
Road.
The
enormous
success
of
his
first
spy
novel,The
IPCRESS
File(1962),
was
repeated
in
a
remarkable
sequence
of
books
over
the
following
decades.
These
varied
from
historical
fiction
(Bomber,
perhaps
his
greatest
novel)
to
dystopian
alternative
fiction
(SS-GB)
and
a
number
of
brilliant
non-fiction
books
on
the
Second
World
War
(Fighter,
BlitzkriegandBlood,
Tears
and
Folly).
His spy novels chart the twists and turns of Britain and the Cold War in ways which now give them a unique flavour. They preserve a world in which Europe contains many dictatorships, in which the personal can be ruined by the ideological and where the horrors of the Second World War are buried under only a very thin layer of soil. Deighton's fascination with technology, his sense of humour and his brilliant evocation of time and place make him one of the key British espionage writers, alongside John Buchan, Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré.

Deighton has a desire, unobtrusive but inflexible, to see the truth ...Blitzkriegis full of insights, quietly expressed but as a rule uncomfortably true.
Contains some gems of research and some arresting conclusions.
