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.
