This was fantastic on audio, narrated by the author and chock-full of "mixed media" such as original interviews, recorded footage, aircraft sounds, etc. Fascinating to see the larger-than-life characters behind the scenes and the "ripple effects" that strategic decisions have for decades. I'm also ashamed to admit that this was really the first time I really understood the magnitude of the firebombing of Japan in the waning days of the war. While the atomic bombs get most of the fanfare, this campaign is really horrific to learn about.

Highly recommend listening to the book. It has interviews from the past. Interesting subject.

Malcom Gladwell always does a good job at collecting facts and stories and presenting it in an engaging way. Unfortunately, this book was not aligned with my interests.

Read because my dad recommended it. It was interesting and a quick listen - would recommend the audiobook for this one because there’s a ton of music and the interviews are actual recordings which makes it great to listen to!
