这本获奖的书是第一部深入研究美国战略轰炸的历史。Michael S.雪莉探讨了第二次世界大战前美国空中力量日益增长的吸引力，战争期间指导空袭的思想，技术，个性和组织，以及美国和英国“常规”轰炸的破坏性影响。他还追溯了一种危险的幻想的起源，即轰炸城市将是如此可怕，以至于各国都不敢让它发生--这种幻想批准了核武库的增长。
This prizewinning book is the first in-depth history of American strategic bombing. Michael S. Sherry explores the growing appeal of air power in America before World War II, the ideas, techniques, personalities, and organizations that guided air attacks during the war, and the devastating effects of American and British "conventional" bombing. He also traces the origins of the dangerous illusion that the bombing of cities would be so horrific that nations would not dare let it occur - an illusion that has sanctioned the growth of nuclear arsenals.
