Personal Review: German Fighter Ace Hans-Joachim Marseille:
The Life Story of the Star of Africa (Schiffer Military History) by
Franz Kurowski

Buy this book...you won't be disappointed! Schiffer Publications alone just
about assures that the book will be a class act, and this one is no
exception. Beautiful dust cover from artist Jerry Crandall. This is the first
book I've read by Franz Kurowski, but it won't be the last. Translated
beautifully by Don Cox with none of the awkwardness you sometimes
encounter. I like pictures. I like a lot of pictures. I like pictures that aren't
redundant from other books. This book covered all bases. There are
more than enough pictures, even for me, to rest your eyes upon as you
read this splendid book. I'm particularly impressed with the photographs
taken of Marseille's crashed plane, as well as those of his body (which was
tastefully handled). Marseille's childhood and early military career on
quickly glossed over, but this has no impact on what we all buy the book
for...to learn more of the greatest pilot and personality of the North African
Campaign...The Star of Africa.
