< div> Set during the height of World War I in January 1918, < i> Goshawk Squadron< /i> follows the misfortunes of a British flight squadron on the Western Front. For Stanley Woolley, commanding officer of Goshawk Squadron, the romance of chivalry in the clouds is just a myth. The code he drums into his men is simple and savage: shoot the enemy in the back before he knows you're there. Even so, he believes the whole squadron will be dead within three months.< br> < br> A monumental work at the time of its original release, Booker-shortlisted < i> Goshawk Squadron< /i> is now viewed as a classic in the mode of < i> Catch 22.< /i> Wry, brutal, cynical and hilarious, the men of Robinson's squadron are themselves an embodiment of the maddening contradictions of war: as much a refined troop of British gentleman as they are a viscous band of brothers hell-bent on staying alive and winning the war.< /div>
