Críticas:
'He was the nation's top bomber hero. Yet Curtis E. LeMay is often portrayed as one-dimensional - a gruff, cigar-chomping brute. The man who defined combat leadership in the European war, wielded the B-29 Superfortress against Japan, and shaped the postwar Strategic Air Command, 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 twentieth century.' - Robert F. Dorr, author of Air Combat and columnist for the Air Force Times
'A brilliant book! Barrett Tillman describes the true magnitude of LeMay's achievements, while rendering the first posthumous biography of a complex, controversial figure. Objective and beautifully written, this portrait of history's greatest air commander is an absolute must for every aviation or military historian and for anyone interested in leadership.' - Walter J. Boyne, author of Roaring Thunder and former Director, National Air& Space Museum
'Thorough, balanced, and insightful, Barrett Tillman's masterful biography of Curtis LeMay is a long-overdue and thought-provoking study, one certain to become a standard reference on the life and work of America's most famous and controversial combat bomber commander.' - Dr. Richard P. Hallion, Aviation Historian, author of Taking Flight: Inventing the Aerial Age from Antiquity Through the First World War
'Mr. Tillman finds much to admire in LeMay, a general who led his own bomber missions and was more familiar with flying equipment than his own men.' - Carl Rollyson, The New York Sun

In World War II, LeMay ordered the firebombing of Tokyo and was in charge when Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He transformed the US air force into an efficient weapon of war. Packed with battles in the air and inspiring leadership tactics on the ground, LeMay tells the story of a terrifying, complex, and brilliant general.
