The Star of Africa is a biography of the dramatic life and meteoric career of German Luftwaffe Captain Hans-Joachim Marseille, the "Star of Africa." Marseille, a legendary figure in the annals of military history, had 158 kills to his name and was one of the rare recipients of the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds, the Third Reich's highest honor awarded for valor in combat. Unlike other German fighter aces, Marseille is also a famous figure in the public imagination in the United States and other English-speaking countries, where his rebellious nature, iconoclastic behaviour, and early death have nourished his reputation just as greatly as his exceptional skill and chivalrous conduct as an adversary.

Recensione:
This is a fascinating biography of one of Germany s top guns during the North African campaign early in World War II...an entertaining book dealing with a unique and complex person. As the subtitle suggests, Marseille was certainly a rogue who earned the respect and admiration of his fellow aviators. --World War II History Magazine, Aug 2013
