Malcolm Gladwell's book on the history of American strategic bombing is a well-written and entertaining read that looks at the big picture of what defined American military ideas of how best to wage war. It is a quick read with fresh facts and lively anecdotes, and is worthwhile read for those who want to learn about the side of the Second World War. The non-precision bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a big part of the book, and it is a great way to learn about the multiplicity of interests that can be difficult to explain.
