Daniel Swift's grandfather was shot down over the English Channel during World War II. To understand the pilot's experience during the war, Swift turns to the poetry of Eliot, Auden, Jarrell and others. The resulting biography/memoir is a fascinating look at the mentality of warriors and the destructive cost of combat. Beautiful and profound.
