The Red Baron: A World War I Novel

At the dawn of the First World War, Manfred von Richthofen seeks glory as a cavalry officer in the German army, but finds misery instead when he is sentenced to a meaningless staff position after losing his first battle. In an attempt to redeem himself, Richthofen joins the fledgling German air force and there discovers his deadly talent for air-to-air combat.

Richthofen knows that in the air, victory and renown come at the expense of other men’s lives and this is a burden that grinds against his soul. To the soldiers and people of Germany, he is the pride of an empire. To his foes, the Red Baron. As the wounds to his body and spirit mount, however, Richthofen learns that even heroes have limits. With the war entering its final stages, his greatest battle will be finding the strength to keep fighting.
