Description

The Goshawk Squadron 50th Anniversary Edition is a gripping novel by Derek Robinson. Published in 2021, this reissue marks a significant milestone for the book, which was initially shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the story follows Major Stanley Woolley and his squadron as they navigate the harsh realities of combat. With its unique blend of gallows humour and black camaraderie, Robinson's writing offers a stark contrast to the romanticised image of war heroes that dominated public perception at the time. This edition includes an introduction by James Holland and an afterword by Mike Petty, providing additional context and insight into the book's themes and historical significance.
