Air War - Vietnam

Air War - Vietnam by US Air Force. Published by Arno Press, New York, NY, 1978. 1st Edition. Hardbound, no DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine. Slight edge wear, content excellent. 361 Pgs. Introduction by Drew Middleton. This book presents a long-neglected aspect of that controversial and frustrating struggle - that of the military. Generals, politicians, officials, diplomats, Intelligence officers, correspondents, and academicians have surveyed the political, moral and legal aspects of the war in a surfeit of books and articles. Yet, until this publication, there has been no presentation of how the military waged the war and what the technical innovations mean for future conflicts. What this book reveals is as sobering as it is startling. The war in Vietnam may have ended in frustration for the US, but it permitted the American Air Force to investigate, discover, perfect and implement the kind of weaponry and military strategy that will influence the nature of warfare for many years to come. Illustrated with photographs. Description text copyright 2006 BooksForComfort. Item ID 11443.
