SuitabookAir war against Hitler's Germany
Stephen W. Sears
- Reading
- Read together in short sections, pausing after a raid or campaign to distinguish its intended target from its wider consequences. Use the illustrations as a prompt to ask what they show and what they leave out.
- Themes
- Military strategy and its consequences: The book examines the theory and problems of daylight bombing and describes the destruction of German cities. Its account places strategic arguments alongside the consequences of bombing, rather than presenting the campaign only as a sequence of aircraft and raids.
- Worth knowing
- Consider whether a reader would welcome discussing wartime destruction and the human costs of military campaigns.
