The Bridge

Description

'A born storyteller' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH. Young paratrooper Theo Trickey has had a remarkable war. Boy soldier, commando, intelligence officer - fighting from northern France to the African desert and in the mountains of Italy. He has already done more than should be asked of any man in war. But D-Day is looming and British intelligence have one more misson for Trickey: to negotiate with his extraordinary old acquaintance, General Erwin Rommel. There are rumours that Germany's greatest general wants to save the Fatherland by any means possible... The Bridge is the final instalment of Radcliffe's Airborne trilogy which tells the extraordinary story of a young soldier, a new regiment and how, together, they changed the course of a war.

Robert Radcliffe was born and educated in London. A journalist and advertising copywriter, he also spent ten years working as a commercial pilot, flying all over the world. He is the bestselling author of nine novels, including The Lazarus Child, Under an English Heaven and Dambuster. He lives in Suffolk.
