Linda R. Robertson argues that the development of the United States
as a global military power arose from the influence of an image of
air combat carefully constructed during World War I to mask the
sordid realities of modern ground warfare. "The Dream of Civilized
Warfare" carries this trajectory to its logical end, tracing the
long history of the American desire to exert the nation's will
throughout the world without having to risk the lives of ground
soldiers--a theme that continues to reverberate in public
discussions, media portrayals, and policy decisions today.
Histories of American air power usually focus on World War II, when
the air force became the foundation for the military strength of
the United States. The equally fascinating story of World War I air
combat is often relegated to a footnote, but it was the earlier war
that first inspired the vision of the United States attaining
dominance in world affairs through a massive air force.
