I see with immense sadness that writer Len Deighton has died. Granted, the man had a long and fruitful life and career, but that doesn’t stop it from sucking.
While Deighton was best known for his espionage novels like The Ipcress Files and Funeral In Berlin (both made into memorable movies starring Michael Caine), my personal favorite was actually a WWII novel, Bomber, which if you haven’t read before, you should. Be warned: it is an absolutely heartrending story.
