Len Deighton brings to bear all the skills of a best-selling novelist in this compelling study. 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.
