Fresh from the playing fields of Sherborne, Oliver Paxton enters the Royal Flying Corps in 1916 a naive young patriot. Pompous, foolish and enthusiastic, he is determined to prove himself to king and country.

But two months in the skies over the Somme changes all that. The terrible reality of aerial combat, coupled with the lax morals and casual cruelty of his fellow pilots, slowly takes its toll, and gradually the patriotic Paxton becomes as disillusioned as those who surround him.

Written by Booker Prize nominee Derek Robinson, 'War Story' is both a thrilling novel and a frightening expose of the absurdities of the First World War.
