	Libri da leggere
		Anche in questo saggio Deighton si accinge a trattare dell’argomento partendo da molto tempo prima: dalla fine del primo conflitto mondiale nuovamente, poiché la Seconda Guerra Mondiale è il risultato degli assestamenti politici e militari della Grande Guerra.
		In queste pagine Deighton dipinge alla perfezione quei giorni di dura guerra, il morale dei piloti, le ingiustizie perpetrate nei loro confronti dagli alti comandi, i duelli aerei, gli assi del cielo che riportarono un gran numero di vittorie.
		Deighton si dimostra non solo un attento saggista storico, ma un osservatore dotato e imparziale, che non stenta a lodare o criticare l’una e l’altra parte.

		Still, Deighton fans will probably enjoy the resolution of several outstanding cliffhangers, including the likelihood of a decent retirement package for the protagonist.
		Because Deighton's work is an evolving saga of spycraft channeled through Samson's life and times, readers unfamiliar with the earlier books may feel like newcomers at a dinner party for old friends.
		As Deighton regulars appear-including Samson's tortured, rising intelligence star, Fiona; her vulgar father; department members Dicky, Bret and Gloria; Samson's mentor, Silas; and his boyhood pal, Werner-there's a lot of hashing and re-hashing of old and new murders, a dying ex-spy and a missing lockbox.

		And the Caine connection - it even sounds like a discarded title for one of Deighton's pacy, hard-boiled spy thrillers, which exploded on to the book stalls in their distinctive white covers in the early 1960s - was, as you have probably surmised by now, The Ipcress File, Deighton's first novel.
		Deighton will be appearing, too, in the British media for the first time in more than 20 years.
		One of the issues that Deighton attempts to settle in the BBC4 film is why he took his name off the credits as producer, something he now describes as "stupid and infantile".

		Deighton's beleaguered British spy, Bernard Samson, returns to kick off the third trilogy in the outstanding series that has run from 1984's Berlin Game through 1990's Spy Sinker.
		Taking up where Sinker left off, in the fall of 1987 (thus making Deighton perhaps the only major thriller author who's still writing about the Cold War), this rich entry finds Samson leaving California to pick up VERDI, code name for a high-ranking East German Stasi officer who may be defecting to Britain's SIS.
		Deighton's penchant for explosive violence, telling detail and throwaway humor (too much coffee, Samson comments to his boss, "'makes some people very tense.' 'Not me,' said Dicky, biting into a fingernail.

		Len Deighton's portrayal of a single day during WWII serves to knock readers right between the eyes with the raw ugliness of armed conflict.
		Deighton doesn't let something meaningless as nationality get in the way of determining who is good or evil (the Germans get the bombs here, but Nazi genocide also gets prominent mention, with plenty of nasty Waffen SS to remind us why people were fighting).
		In this meticulously researched and finely-wrought novel, author Len Deighton interweaves the stories of a large cast of characters, German and British, in the hours leading up to a night bomber attack on a fictional Germany city.

		As the preface says: “[S]erious food enthusiasts seized upon [his recipes] without being sure that this was the same man who spoke over the Soviet radio, talked with Hollywood lawyers and wrote the sort of spy thrillers that had to be submitted to the War Office before publication.
		The cover shows Deighton stirring a pot of spaghetti while a woman runs her hands suggestively through his hair.
		Open the book, and you discover that Len Deighton the spy novelist is very, very serious about food.

	City of Gold - Len Deighton - Printed Books Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		Deighton's City of Gold is a gripping read, probably one of his best since the Ipcress File.
		It is the story of treachery and skullduggery in Cairo (called the City of Gold because of the effect produced by sunlight,particularly during the winter months) and environs when the British Army was involved in its bitter campaign against Rommel's Afrika Korps in 1942.
		The main plot of this novel is Major Albert Cutler's search for the traitor, but there are several intertwining sub-plots, and underlying it all is Deighton's marvellous evocation of the sights, odours, and atmosphere of Egypt...
