Bombing to Win by Robert A Pape
In this now-classic work of the theory and practice of airpower and its political effects, Robert A. Pape helps military strategists and policy makers judge the purpose of various air strategies, and helps general readers understand the policy debates.Bombing to Win is a critically important book
* Naval War College Review *This excellent work is highly recommended as an antidote to the air power hyperbole so often encountered after the Gulf War.
* Non-Offensive Defence and Conversion Newsletter *Robert Pape argues comprehensively and convincingly that in 75 years, strategic bombing of civilians has had no effect on the war aims of their governments.... His contribution is well-grounded in massive scholarship, but its value lies more in the demolishing persistent misconceptions than in the provision of new insights for the future of air-power.
* Survival *Robert A. Pape is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago.
