Re: News from NeunundZwanzigSechs
As biographies go the 29/6 books are all very strong.
Of course an autobiography is per definition a subjective experience, that's what makes it interesting. By reading an autobiography you hope to catch something of the person who wrote it, beyond the events described. For Rall it is the importance of his post war experience with NATO and the Americans. Lipfert's autobiography is not the rule, its focus on air combat is pretty unique. Although is a good book, it doesn't go far beyond that main focus point. 29/6 is a quality publisher and their (or his: Kurt Braatz) work reflects a love for aviation history, both in subject material and printing quality. At least that is my opinion. However I cannot comment on their translated work, I only have the german publications.
