- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Not my favourite Deighton, but it has a place in any collections of his work. I'm sure it was gathered up to make more money from some ill-paid earlier works
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A collection of short stories specifically written for this book. They all feature some aspect of war - almost all of them cover the first world war, though there are a couple in the 2nd and two set elsewhere. Frontline infantry or airforce are the obvious targets. As a selection it is interestingly varied in tone, feel and setting. However none of the stories really stand out. Thjey all lack the finishing punch that a expert short story writer can achieve. There is no twist in any of them. They would each probably work as novellas or even full novels - which would not be the case for most short stories. Deighton does a good job in character and world building though creating intreresting people within just a few pages. Each of the stories is short, no more than five pages or so long. Readable, but nothing special
