Leonard Cyril Deighton (born February 18, 1929, Marylebone, London) is a British historian and author of spy fiction and historical novels. Several of his novels have been adapted as films. His first four novels featured an anonymous anti-hero, named "Harry Palmer" in the films, and portrayed by Michael Caine. The first trilogy of his Bernard Samson novel series was made into a twelve-part television series by Granada Television in 1988. He wrote the screenplay for the 1969 film of the play Oh! What a Lovely War. His 1970 World War II historical novel Bomber about an RAF Bomber Command raid over Germany often is considered his masterpiece. Deighton's interest in spy stories may have been partially inspired by his witnessing the arrest of Anna Wolkoff, a British citizen of Russian descent who was a Nazi spy, and charged with violating the Official Secrets Act on May 20, 1940. in a cloth binding with the original dustwrapper.
