    Wedge Antilles – hero, warrior, star pilot. The only rebel to face two Death Stars and live to tell the tale.

    Wedge confronted death countless times, in battles large and small, where split-second decisions often meant the difference between survival and a fiery demise.

    Now, he tells his story, and those of the brave pilots he served with and elite enemies he fought against. Aided by unsealed archives from the New Republic, and unreleased interviews of Imperial and Alliance veterans, Antilles gives the definitive account of what it was to fight the Galactic Civil War from the cockpit of a starfighter.

    The ships, tactics, and weapons, but also the quiet times and camaraderie, the moments of fear and despair, the thrill of victory and the aching loss of friends. This is the untold story of the galaxy’s star
    pilots.
    Dr. Chris Kempshall is a public historian and author who specialises in modern media representations of history. He has taught and lectured on war and European history at a wide assortment of universities and is currently the President for the International Society for First World War Studies and a Senior Research Fellow for the Centre for Army Leadership, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

    He is the author of numerous academic works including; The First World War in Computer Games and British, French and American Relations on the Western Front, 1914–1918.

    Along with Jason Fry, Cole Horton, and Amy Ratcliffe, he is the co-author of Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy (2021) published by DK. His latest book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, an in-universe political history of the Galactic Empire, was published by DK Books in July 2024. View titles by Chris Kempshall
