Curtis LeMay was a terrifying, complex, and brilliant general. In World War II, he ordered the firebombing of Tokyo and was in charge when atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. He was responsible for tens of thousands of civilian deaths, a fact he liked to celebrate by smoking Cuban cigars. But LeMay was also the man who single-handedly transformed the American Air Force from poorly trained and badly equipped pilots into one of the fiercest weapons of the war. Over the last decades, most U.S. military missions have been carried out entirely through use of the Air Force. This is LeMay's legacy.

"Curtis E. LeMay...was far more complex than his detractors claim. Barrett Tillman, one of America's top history writers, gives us an authentic feel for LeMay and for the way LeMay left his mark on the 20th century." (Air Force Times)
it's tiresomely "Murican!!" It purports that Lemay was the greatest ever living human, invented by "Murica!" the greatest nation ever in the history of the universe..... ever!
No other nation gets any mention other than their ineptness.
Historical technical inaccuracies abound, and apparently the Americans invented everything first despite evidence that probably best otherwise.
If you can look beyond all this, the story of Curtis Lemay's life and career are very interesting and demonstrate his rightful place as a significant force in air power.
A good read but..........
