‘What Mr Deighton did for the Battle of Britain in Fighter he had done for the land-war here .... A rattlingly good yarn’ Guardian

‘Deighton has a desire, unobtrusive but inflexible, to see the truth ... Blitzkrieg is full of insights, quietly expressed but as a rule uncomfortably true’ Financial Times

‘Contains some gems of research and some arresting conclusions’ New Statesman
