Product Information

On August 17, 1942, twelve Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses of the United States Eighth Air Force carried out the first American raid over occupied Europe, striking the rail yards at Rouen, France. Soon after, hundreds of American B-17s and Consolidated B-24 Liberators filled the skies above Europe. Despite their frequent attacks, American commanders failed to stage a successful air offensive against Germany in the summer and fall of 1943. When prospects for victory in the air war against the Axis powers appeared bleak, a change in command accompanied by top-down organizational restructuring allowed the American leaders to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Uniting against the Reich: The American Air War in Europe addresses how the United States swiftly reversed its air war against the Axis powers by reevaluating both individual agency and the structural elements that impeded the US from taking the lead in the European Theater. Luke W. Truxal's provocative reinterpretation of personality, materiel, and command organization helps to explain the success of the American war effort in Europe leading up to and after February 1944, when Germany lost 355 fighters during an operation that lasted only five days. This compelling new assessment of the development of the American war in Europe emphasizes the importance of developing an "air-mindedness" when evaluating and strategizing for large-scale operations.

Reviews
Many accounts of the Combined Bomber Offensive emphasize doctrinal inflexibility, technology, or tactics, often at the expense of the human dimension. Truxal masterfully rises above the conventional scholarship to highlight the vital role of effective military leadership and strategic focus in forging a unitary effort that made a nascent technology an essential component of victory. Thorough character analysis grounded in an understanding of airpower theory and history makes this work essential reading on the subject., An insightful and sprawling narrative, Uniting against the Reich recounts the fierce debates among American commanders, and with their British counterparts, over strategy and command unity. This engrossing book incorporates the crucial but often-overlooked strategic air campaigns in support of American and British ground forces in Italy and Soviet ground forces in Romania and the Balkans., This careful study of command relationships is a must-read for anyone interested in the air campaigns of the Second World War. Truxal's insightful analysis casts familiar air power leaders in a new light and greatly enhances our understanding of World War II bombing operations., Uniting Against the Reich is Truxal's first book, and it is based on solid research, sound if debatable judgments, and a refreshing lack of moralistic tone.
