| Memoirs are a tricky business. I think anyone who relies on them as the sole sources of information are always going to be disappointed. But as a general read it sounds interesting.
An example I could cite would be "Life's Too Short to Cry: The Compelling Memoir of a Battle of Britain Ace" by Tim Vigors. I really enjoyed reading it, but alas, there were some factual errors. But I knew that because I'd read so much of the theatres and incidents that he was writing about. In defence of the books, Vigors sadly died whilst it was still a manuscript, and no factula editing was carried out before publication.
