Product Information
On August 17, 1942, twelve Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses of the United States Eighth Air Force carried out the first American raid over occupied Europe, striking the rail yards at Rouen, France. Soon after, hundreds of American B-17s and Consolidated B-24 Liberators filled the skies above Europe. Despite frequent attacks against Germany and its allies by four different air forces, American commanders failed to stage a successful air offensive against Germany in the summer and fall of 1943. When victory in the air war against the Axis powers appeared bleak at the threshold of 1944, a change in command accompanied by top-down organizational restructuring allowed the American leaders to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for the first time. Uniting against the Reich: The American Air War in Europe addresses how the United States swiftly reversed its air war against the Axis powers by reevaluating both individual agency and the structural elements that impeded the US from taking the lead in the European Theater. Luke W. Truxal argues that the appointment of General Dwight D. Eisenhower as the Supreme Allied Commander incorporated various air commands under a single authority, which allowed them to unify their efforts against a specific strategic objective. In this narrative, victory in Europe hinged on restructuring the air force under one command system in order to wage a series of sustained and targeted bombings against German infrastructure and industry. Truxal's provocative reinterpretation of personality, material, and command organization helps to explain the success of the American war effort in Europe leading up to and after February 1944, when Germany lost 355 fighters during an operation that lasted only five days. This comprehensive and well-written account offers a compelling new assessment of the development of the American war in Europe and emphasizes the importance of developing an "air-mindedness" when evaluating and strategizing large-scale operations.

Reviews
Many accounts of the Combined Bomber Offensive emphasize doctrinal inflexibility, technology, or tactics, often at the expense of the human dimension. Truxal masterfully rises above the conventional scholarship to highlight the vital role of effective military leadership and strategic focus in forging a unitary effort that made a nascent technology an essential component of victory. Thorough character analysis grounded in an understanding of airpower theory and history makes this work essential reading on the subject., An insightful and sprawling narrative, Uniting Against the Reich recounts the fierce debates among American commanders, and with their British counterparts, over strategy and command unity. This engrossing book incorporates the crucial but often-overlooked strategic air campaigns in support of American and British ground forces in Italy and Soviet ground forces in Romania and the Balkans., An insightful and sprawling narrative, Uniting against the Reich recounts the fierce debates among American commanders, and with their British counterparts, over strategy and command unity. This engrossing book incorporates the crucial but often-overlooked strategic air campaigns in support of American and British ground forces in Italy and Soviet ground forces in Romania and the Balkans., This careful study of command relationships is a must-read for anyone interested in the air campaigns of the Second World War. Truxal's insightful analysis casts familiar air power leaders in a new light and greatly enhances our understanding of World War II bombing operations., Uniting Against the Reich is Truxal's first book, and it is based on solid research, sound if debatable judgments, and a refreshing lack of moralistic tone.

I am in acquisition mode for physical media, and Doctor Who is a staple. Big Finish has been a staple for quite some time; however, it's a BBC Show, and recently, I have been enjoying classic Who from Auntie Beep! Item is as described. Bid with Confidence!!
