William \"Billy\" Mitchell, the hero of the U.S. Army Air Service during World War I and the man who proved in 1921 that planes could sink a battleship. In 1925 Mitchell was frustrated by the slow pace of aviation development, and he sparked a political firestorm, accusing the army and navy high commands -- and by inference the president -- of treason and criminal negligence in the way they conducted national defense. He was put on trial for insubordination in a spectacular court-martial that became a national obsession during the Roaring Twenties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUncovering a trove of new letters, diaries, and confidential documents, Douglas Waller captures the drama of the trial and builds a rich and revealing biography of Mitchell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWaller, Douglas C.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eDouglas Waller is a senior correspondent for \u003cem\u003eTime\u003c\/em\u003e, and before that was with \u003cem\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/em\u003e.
