{"product_id":"9780786715954","title":"Goshawk Squadron","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet during the height of World War I in January 1918, Goshawk Squadron 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. A monumental work at the time of its original release, Booker-shortlisted Goshawk Squadron is now viewed as a classic in the mode of Catch 22. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011360243952,"sku":"9780786715954","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786715954_p0.jpg?v=1763663623","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786715954","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
