Strategic Paralysis - An Airpower Theory for the Present (Paperback)

All wars are costly in lives and treasure Through the ages, this fundamental truth has driven military strategists to search for a quick and inexpensive victory in battle. But, the limits of technology allowed for only so much innovation on land and sea. Then, just as the horrors of war reached their zenith in the trenches of WWI, the airplane promised to take the battle directly to the enemy's most vital targets. Victory, some reasoned, would now go quickly, easily, and with less expense to those who could command the air. But early Airpower results were not all that impressive. Airplanes never achieved the unambiguous, inexpensive or decisive victory its advocates envisioned. Ever since, military men have sought a better understanding of Airpower and how best to use this unique weapon to defeat an enemy.
