A Good Read - By: Damien Lewis, 17 Jun 2008
A unique & memorable read, Patrick Bishop's A Good War is a beautifully crafted & at times epic tale that recreates the sense & feel of those fighter pilots who strove & died & endured in the Second World War - from the Battle of Britain to North Africa & the conquest of Europe. Bishop's protagonist is a flawed & human - & heroic - individual, at times as unlucky in combat as he is in love. He is a rounded & compelling character who carries one through the tale & leaves one at the end of the book lamenting the loss of a good friend. True to Bishop's trademark writing, A Good War is impressively well researched & authentic to the spirit & facts of that time. Highly recommended.
