ISBN: 9780670346721.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet 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 youre 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 Robinsons 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Viking Adult","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948479737909,"sku":"ByrdShop_0670346721","price":59.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780670346721_0f0bc234-0290-42a3-a39a-efa11ea2d14b.jpg?v=1778782349","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/goshawk-squadron-9780670346721","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
