"On a warm night in June 1943, a force of 700 R.A.F. bombers set off for a routine heavy raid on the Ruhr.  Len Deighton documents the twenty-four hours which end in a holocaust.  At the pastoral Bomber Command aerodrome in Warley fen, Sam Lambert, preparing for his forty-sixth bombing raid, rashly questions the strategy of destruction.  At Kroonsdijk, the Luftwaffe night fighter station disguised as a Dutch farm, the exemplary Aryan pilot Victor von Lowenherz is shocked by the excesses of the regime he serves.  Meanwhile, in the little country town of Altgarten, August Bach, the commanding officer of radar station 'Ermine', discovers too late that he is in love."
