Not a casual biography

Many books about combat pilots cover only the dramatic events of their operational careers. The better biographies cover the whole person, not just their flying escapades. "Warburton' War" is one of these better books. The author has interviewed many of Warburton's personal acquaitents and intimate friends to craft a literary profile of Warbuton's childhood, personality, devils, and demons.

It is a biography of the best quality possible for such a forgotten man.
