Reviews
"Barrett Tillman is one superb military aviation historian. . . . An epic story told by a master historian." --Robert B. Loring, Leatherneck magazine, "Barrett Tillman is one superb military aviation historian. . . . An epic story told by a master historian." --Robert B. Loring,Leatherneckmagazine, "Engaging and very readable. Tillman is the first to integrate all the elements of the final air offensive against Japan in a single volume. . . . He draws valuable fresh perspective from the many interviews of veterans that he has conducted over the years."? --John Lundstrom, U.S. Naval InstituteProceedings, "The story of how B-29s and lesser aircraft ended the Pacific War is wonderfully told by Barrett Tillman in Whirlwind. . . . He conveys details of the great Tokyo fire raid and the atomic obliteration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in terms that are fresh. . . . Tillman is a master storyteller." --Daniel Ford, The Wall Street Journal, "Whirlwind . . .offers an impressive 360-degree look at the air offensive against Japan's home islands. All of the story's major elements are here, as well as some frequently omitted. . . . While several worthy books have covered aspects of this air effort, none offers the comprehensive inter-service and international perspective of this concise account." --Richard R. Muller,World War IImagazine, "Whirlwindis a definitive history of the WW II air assault on Japan and is superb reading. I highly recommend it as a must for all military historians."--Cdr. Doug Siegfried, USN (Ret),The Hook, "A well-written, bright and insightful tour of the last definitive period of the Pacific war. . . . Tillman is one of this country's most respected aviation historians. . . . It's all here with the usual Tillman stamp of authority and occasional grim, irreverent humor. . . . Whirlwind will not disappoint." --Peter Mersky, Wings of Gold, "Engaging and very readable. Tillman is the first to integrate all the elements of the final air offensive against Japan in a single volume. . . . He draws valuable fresh perspective from the many interviews of veterans that he has conducted over the years." --John Lundstrom, U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings, " Whirlwind is a definitive history of the WW II air assault on Japan and is superb reading.

Muller, World War II magazine, Advance Praise forWHIRLWIND?"Sweeping and authoritative, Barrett Tillman'sWhirlwindputs the reader in the cockpit as Allied and Japanese airmen battle to the death in'the broad skies of the Pacific, but never loses sight of the larger strategic issues and perspectives of the war, nor of the human cost that it extracted."?--Richard Hallion, former chief historian of the U.S. Air Force?"Barrett Tillman'sWhirlwindis a concise, rigorous and authoritative miracle of military history. It's also a great read. I couldn't put it down."--Stephen Hunter, author ofI, SniperandThe 47th Samurai?"Whirlwindis the most authoritative account ever of the terrifying American air war against Japan, which both forced Tokyo's surrender and saved countless lives in the long run. This powerful book should put an end to the misguided moralizing to the contrary."--Andrew Nagorski, author ofThe Greatest Battle?"Whirlwindhas the critical elements to separate it from the pack of cockpit and command aviation histories: it is vivid, lucid and human. But it is something much more: it provides the essential foundation for the examination of the impact of conventional airpower as a fundamental cause of Japan's surrender."? --Richard B. Frank, author ofDownfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire?"A sparkling tale of one of the most fascinating battlefronts of World War II. Tillman pulls together the aerial battles, planning sessions, kills and sacrifices into a coherent narrative that will leave readers pondering the fate of nations and individuals in war, when the call is often to perform the impossible and the call is met with surprising frequency."? --Robert W. Merry, author ofA Country of Vast Designs?"This is a story of great heroism and of technological triumph on a grand scale—the building of the B-29 alone is worth a book—and of the vindication of air power as the ultimate weapon of war.Whirlwindis full of extraordinary stories of courage, sacrifice and good, old-fashioned American know-how, a book every aviation enthusiast should read."--Michael Korda, Author ofWith Wings Like Eagles?"The definitive history of the United States' war-winning aerial assault upon Japan. No one interested in World War II aviation can afford to be without this book."--Walter J. Boyne, Colonel, USAF (Ret),former Director of the National Air &Space Museum?"Barrett Tillman, one of America's finest World War II historians, has provided a great public service by writingWhirlwind.Highly recommended."--Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Rice University and author ofThe Boys of Point du Hoc, "A well-written, bright and insightful tour of the last definitive period of the Pacific war. . . .
