Barton reduction

Does anyone know the condition and reagent for Barton reduction and why is it used for aliphatic ketone or aldehyde and it is considered milder than Wolff Kishner or Clemmenson reduction

You need to make the S-Xanthate then use AIBN (or similar) as a radical initiator. I have an example in my PhD thesis I think or at least the reference but I'm at work at present.

Do you need to do this reaction experimentally?
