Publisher Description
Curtis Lemay's life spanned an epoch in American military history—from his troubled background, heroic service in Europe, and firebombing of Tokyo to his guardianship of the U.S. nuclear arsenal during the cold war, frustrated career in government, and short-lived political run.
LeMay: The Life and Wars of General Curtis LeMay tells the whole story of the innovative pilot and navigator, brilliant strategist, unflagging patriot, and founder of modern strategic bombing. In this biography, Warren Kozak provides an unprecedented glimpse into the might and mind of one of the founding fathers of air power, a leader whose influence and controversy continues to this day.

I enjoyed this book but it is full of lavish praise for Gen LeMay. I got it to learn more about this legendary/infamous general officer in American history and was able to do so. But was a little frustrated with the somewhat frequent pauses to over emphasize how great of a guy LeMay was. I don’t think the misconstrue anything, just a lot of commentary not relating to historical facts.
