Tracing the use of air power in World War II and the Korean War,
Mark Clodfelter explains how U. S. Air Force doctrine evolved
through the American experience in these conventional wars only to
be thwarted in the context of a limited guerrilla struggle in
Vietnam. Although a faith in bombing's sheer destructive power led
air commanders to believe that extensive air assaults could win the
war at any time, the Vietnam experience instead showed how even
intense aerial attacks may not achieve military or political
objectives in a limited war. Based on findings from previously
classified documents in presidential libraries and air force
archives as well as on interviews with civilian and military
decision makers, "The Limits of Air Power" argues that reliance on
air campaigns as a primary instrument of warfare could not have
produced lasting victory in Vietnam. This Bison Books edition
includes a new chapter that provides a framework for evaluating air
power effectiveness in future conflicts.
