Paperback. Zustand: Good. Solid retired library book with usual library markings; else VG. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. From the Foreword: The United States Air Force of the 1990s faces perhaps the single greatest challenge to its institutional Weltanschauung since it became an independent service in 1947. The specter of a hostile, expansionist Soviet Union--which, for the last 45 years, has justified the maintenance of a large strategic air force overwhelmingly oriented to the western European theater--is fading fast with no similarly immense threat on the immediate horizon to take its place. As a result, the USAF, perhaps more than any other US military service, faces the prospect of losing the foundation upon which it has based its entire institutional identity and even its very existence. Strategic bombing is not mere doctrine to the USAF; it is its lifeblood and provides its entire raison d'etre. Strategic bombing is as central to the identity of the Air Force as the New Testament is to the Catholic church. Without the Gospels there would be no pope; and without strategic bombing there would be no Air Force. The theology of strategic bombing has influenced every aspect of the Air Force's development since well before World War II. This system of belief too often has led the keepers of the US AF's institutional memory to dismiss as aberrant, peripheral, and irrelevant anything that fell outside the narrow confines of its strategic concepts. The US AF's uncritical approach to its own past has enabled it to declare strategic bombing decisive where it was not (Europe, 1943-45); to claim victory where there was none (Vietnam, 1972); and to neglect those air operations that, indeed, proved indispensable and potentially decisive (tactical air campaigns in the European and Pacific theaters during World War II and in Korea during 1950 and 1951). This inability of the USAF to assess realistically the lessons and implications of its wartime experiences--failures along with successes--not only keeps it from facing the more difficult and sometimes painful implications of the Vietnam experience, but in the long run enervates all air Force doctrine, strategic as well as tactical. 308 pages.

Earl H. Tilford is a military historian and fellow for the Middle East & terrorism. Dr. Tilford retired from the Air Force in 1989 after a career that included tours as an intelligence officer in Thailand and at Headquarters, Strategic Air Command. Dr. Tilford, the author of this book, is not squeamish about demolishing the myths that abound concerning the air war in southeast Asia. He is forthright in challenging both the USAF's strategic tunnel vision and the cherished misconceptions of many civilian historians whose criticisms of the air war in Vietnam are long on politics and short on facts. The integrity of Dr. Tilford's research, his knowledge of air power theory and technology, and his expertise as a historian all contribute to a high quality effort that proves, among other things, that neither the Air Force nor its civilian critics have yet secured a monopoly on truth. In terms of resources allocated, the Vietnam War was primarily an air war. Approximately half the $200 billion spent on the war supported aerial operations; 8 million tons of bombs fell and over 8,500 aircraft were lost between 1961 and 1975. For all that, while air power was occasionally pivotal, it was never decisive, and America's defeat in Vietnam can be construed as a defeat for air power. The failure of air power resulted from deficiencies inherent in doctrine and weaknesses in leadership. For a variety of reasons, the Air Force, which dropped over 6 million tons of bombs, has not faced up to the implications of its defeat. Presumed First Edition, later (1993) printing.
