World War II is usually seen as a titanic land battle, decided by mass armies, most importantly those on the Eastern Front. Phillips Payson O'Brien shows us the war in a completely different light. In this compelling new history of the Allied path to victory, he argues that in terms of production, technology, and economic power, the war was far more a contest of air and sea than of land supremacy. He shows how the Allies developed a predominance of air and sea power which put unbearable pressure on Germany and Japan's entire war-fighting machine from Europe and the Mediterranean to the Pacific. Air and sea power dramatically expanded the area of battle and allowed the Allies to destroy over half of the Axis's equipment before it had even reached the traditional 'battlefield'. Battles such as El Alamein, Stalingrad, and Kursk did not win World War II; air and sea power did.

A good account of how the Allies (mainly U.S and British and it's Dominion forces) won the war through air & sea domination. Excellent.

An different assessment of how WW2 was won.

excellent book, well read and very informative. Worth while to any military history buff or if you're interested in how wars are won or lost.

Makes you rethink who won WW2

A long and detailed book, and an absolute must for anyone with an interest in the history of WW2. O'Brien decisively delivers on the the titular question posed by this work.

Food for deep thought

The author tries to show another view on the subject as in the title - his point of view is innovative and interesting (that is why I bought this book), however the delivery is rather disappointing and I remain with the "old school" answer: you can't take the land with a ship and plane.
It would be a better book if some facts and interpretations are not repeated again and again...

Interesting but not convincing
