The Bomber Mafia: Dreams of Humane Warfare and the Bloody Days of World War II
9.99 €
Famous journalist and writer Malcolm Gladwell tells about a group of aviators from the United States, obsessed with the idea of targeted bombing - a military doctrine that would potentially reduce the number of casualties among enemy soldiers and civilians. For the 1930s, this idea was revolutionary: instead of carpet bombing everything alive in a vast territory, the "bombing mafia" proposed using a new class of aircraft that could pinpoint key military and civilian targets. Gladwell masterfully intertwines the fates of several characters - the inventor of the bomb sight, American and British generals and engineers. All of them worked for the good of their people, but saw the optimal way of waging war in different ways, and in this book the story of their confrontation becomes a tense documentary thriller.
