Fascinating read. Not the typical Malcolm Gladwell topic or execution, but highly worth the read. The critical nature he has is still present but the historic overview and eye for detail puts this book right up there in his canon.

Throw this in the trash and read Sven Lindqvist's "A History of Bombing" instead

I’m not as much of a history buff as I’d like to be but parts of this were still relatively interesting and new to me (aka discussion of bombing in WW2 that weren’t just the atomic bombs discussed in school) so for that I’m glad to have listened to it.

A quick and easy read. Learned a few new things but nothing crazy. Was a bit more of deep dive on two people rather than the larger events
