Strategy for Defeat: The Luftwaffe, 1933-1945 [Illustrated Edition‪]‬

Includes the Aerial Warfare In Europe During World War II illustrations pack with over 200 maps, plans, and photos.

This book is a comprehensive analysis of an air force, the Luftwaffe, in World War II. It follows the Germans from their prewar preparations to their final defeat. There are many disturbing parallels with our current situation. I urge every student of military science to read it carefully. The lessons of the nature of warfare and the application of airpower can provide the guidance to develop our fighting forces and employment concepts to meet the significant challenges we are certain to face in the future.
