Awesome book. Especially enjoyed as an adiobook that read like a radio program with audio interviews and snips from other recorded audio sources. It was very well done and interesting.

I‘m a big Malcolm Gladwell‘s work & his voice is so great for audio books. My husband‘s grandfather was a SeaBee & photographer during WWII. He was located off the coast of Japan, Guam. He was one of the photographers that went up to take photos for reconnaissance missions. After listening to Gladwell discuss the bombing of cities in Japan I realized these were the photos he probably took (the family has a metal box full of photos that he took

Amiable This was one of the most amazing audiobooks I‘ve ever heard. I recommend it all the time. 1y
ncsufoxes that he was able to keep). Anyhow the book was more than that, just an interesting connection. The book revisits this piece of history (which is what Gladwell does well) to try to understand more. He discussed the start of the US Air Force & their development of precision bombing. Gladwell brings to light interesting ideas about how bombing was used & the influence of what happened in WWII. #bookspin bingo 1y
ncsufoxes I was also amazed to learn that Napalm was developed at Harvard & tested on the Harvard soccer field. We live 6 miles away from Harvard, so it‘s pretty surreal to read about Napalm being tested in Cambridge (Boston has some really weird & interesting moments in history). 1y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1y
marleed Great review. I loved this book. I‘m pretend m taking a college class and getting college credit every time I read his books. He both teaches me and makes me consider things from alternate perspectives. 1y

#maymontage #withabridge I‘ve not been great posting every day but have one for this prompt. I went to university in Newcastle and think the Northumbrian coastline is some of the most beautiful to be found anywhere so have really enjoyed the sense of place in all of LJ Ross‘s Ryan novels. This one centres on the Tyne bridge

Eggs Love this idea for a series🌉 2y

I'm not a fan of military/war strategy history books, but I'm huge fan of Malcolm Gladwell's writing and genius of showing the relationship between seemingly unrelated things. And this was a most fascinating read.

Even though the book doesn't take place in Alabama, the Bomber Mafia was based at Maxwell Field in Montgomery, so, yay #Alabama for #BooksByState2023 😁

Interesting story of how Air Force group wanted to make war less lethal and how it did not turn out that way.
