Linebacker Raids: The Bombing of North Vietnam, 1972

A detailed account of the conduct and effectiveness of the US strategic bombing policy in the most controversial aerial campaign of the Vietnam War: The two Linebacker raids. "...gives a month-by-month and sometimes day-by-day narrative of the raids...uses the experiences of pilots and crews to convey the intensity of the raids and the air-to-air combat that occurred between US fighters and North Vietnamese MiGs....Smith rightly realizes that airpower...is only one tool needed to solve political problems."--Military Review
