***Selected for the 2010 Chief of the United States Air Force's
Reading List***This one-volume anthology provides a comprehensive
analysis of the role that air power has played in military
conflicts over the past century. Comprising sixteen essays penned
by a global cadre of leading military experts, "A History of Air
Warfare" chronologically examines the utility of air power from the
First World War to the second Lebanon war, campaign by campaign.
Each essay lays out the objectives, events, and key players of the
conflict in question, reviews the role of air power in the
strategic and operational contexts, and explores the interplay
between the political framework and military operations proper. The
concluding section offers wider perspectives by focusing on air and
space power in both unconventional and conventional warfare from
1913 to the present. More than a simple homage to air power, "A
History of Air Warfare" exposes air power s strengths and
weaknesses and, where relevant, illuminates the challenges of joint
operations and coalition warfare. Because of its critical approach,
even treatment, and historical background, the book will appeal to
modern warfare scholars, air power specialists, and general readers
interested in military history alike.
