Overview
Bomber Offensive is required reading for anyone with an interest in the history of aviation and the air war of World War II. In a forthright and vigorous style, Sir Arthur Harris charts his rise to the top of Bomber Command and the difficulty in sustaining the controversial bomber offensive against Germany in the face of heavy casualties. Harris masterminded bombing of unprecedented proportions that included the first thousand-bomber raid against Cologne in 1942, the Battle of Berlin, and the destruction of Dresden in 1945. Written soon after the close of the war, these memoirs take the reader deep behind the scenes into operational planning and the controversies that dogged Harris's reputation.Synopsis
