E-Books →Richthofen A True History of the Red Baron

"The context [of World War I air warfare] can be obtained from William E. Burrows's 'true history,' a very good book. He has not only read the available material, but talked to a great many people who knew Richthofen. The result is as good a look at the withdrawn Prussian personality as we are likely to get." - Pierce Fredericks, New York Times Book Review
"This is a fine biography of the German flying ace of World War I fame, who, at the time of his death at age 25, was already a legend. The author has researched well his subject giving the reader a look at the person, not just the mystique, and reconstructs a few of the Red Baron's famous dog-fights." - US Naval Institute Proceedings
"This 'true history of the Red Baron' gets behind the mystique clinging to the World War I aviation ace to the question of his use, or mis-use, by German propaganda." - Wall Street Journal
"In this intriguing biography, Burrows zooms in on the man behind the myth. He analyzes Richthofen's persisting influence on his compatriots today." - Book World
"The Burrows book does serve to freshen the memory of the Red Baron and his place in history." - The Louisville Times
"William E. Burrows has done, in Richthofen, a sensitive job of examining how a killer is turned into a myth." - Christian Science Monitor
