The Bomber Mafia: A Dream, a Temptation, and the Longest Night of the Second World War by Malcolm Gladwell
5.0
I loved this book. I listened to the audiobook version, and i would highly recommend that this book be consumed in the audiobook format.
Malcom does an excellent job of taking us through a brief history of air wars from the United states airforce perspective, specifically, from bomber command.
The book covers two key characters, Gen. Haywood S. Hansell, and Gen. Curtis LeMay and their philosophy when it comes to bombing campaigns against Japan during world war 2 all way to the infamous bombing campaign of Tokyo.
It would make for an excellent read for anyone that enjoys Malcolm Gladwell's style in general, but also anyone who is interested in some of the more overlooked details of the second world war.
