MANFRED VON RICHTHOFEN: His Life and Time in Pictures

1-247010

A photographic record that charts the life of The Red Baron in great detail, but also places it in a much wider historical context, giving greater meaning and potency. He didn't live or fight his battles in a small exclusive bubble, but in the full glare of military and public scrutiny both of which, although essential to the German cause, allowed him no rest or privacy as he struggled to survive. Explores how The Red Baron's life was one of great endeavor and sacrifice which broke down national and political barriers, allowing us to consider the achievements of an undoubted hero and the period in which he lived. Contains 16 color illustrations and 285 mono illustrations.
