Sinossi
This is the definitive biography of one of the most controversial figures of World War II. Sir Arthur Harris remains the target of criticism and vilification by many, while others believe the contribution he and his men made to victory is grossly undervalued. Henry Probert's critical but sympathetic new account draws on recent research and, for this first time, all of Harris's own extensive papers, to give outstanding insight into a man who combined leadership, professionalism and decisiveness with kindness, humor and generosity. Bomber Harris provides the most complete picture of one of the great commanders of modern times and an outstanding military personality of World War II. Air Commodore Probert was formerly Head of the Air Historical Branch. Correlli Barnett is a world-renowned historian whose books have been translated into many languages.

Recensione
'Author Henry Probert has shed light on the complex, multifaceted Sir Arthur in this insightful, penetrating biography ... Harris comes to life on the pages through Probert's judicious use of quotes and correspondence that demonstrate the commander's leadership qualities, professionalism, and decisiveness mixed with kindness, humor, and generosity ... Using for the first time Harris's own extensive papers, Probert paints a complete picture of the man lauded by many and vilified by others - a portrait that both fans and detractors of Sir Arthur will find intriguing.' --WWII History, May 2007
Excellent new study ... An Air Commodore, formerly director of RAF education, Probert is equally steadfast both in recognising Harris s shortcomings, and in fighting for vindication of area bombing. This makes for a fair and square yet sympathetic view of Harris. --Alistair Horne in The Spectator
'This is the fullest, shrewdest and most balanced account of Harris's life to date.' --Richard Overy in the Sunday Telegraph
