Earl H. Tilford is a military historian and fellow for the Middle East & terrorism. Dr. Tilford retired from the Air Force in 1989 after a career that included tours as an intelligence officer in Thailand and at Headquarters, Strategic Air Command. Dr. Tilford, the author of this book, is not squeamish about demolishing the myths that abound concerning the air war in southeast Asia. He is forthright in challenging both the USAF's strategic tunnel vision and the cherished misconceptions of many civilian historians whose criticisms of the air war in Vietnam are long on politics and short on facts. The integrity of Dr. Tilford's research, his knowledge of air power theory and technology, and his expertise as a historian all contribute to a high quality effort that proves, among other things, that neither the Air Force nor its civilian critics have yet secured a monopoly on truth. In terms of resources allocated, the Vietnam War was primarily an air war. Approximately half the $200 billion spent on the war supported aerial operations; 8 million tons of bombs fell and over 8,500 aircraft were lost between 1961 and 1975. For all that, while air power was occasionally pivotal, it was never decisive, and America's defeat in Vietnam can be construed as a defeat for air power. The failure of air power resulted from deficiencies inherent in doctrine and weaknesses in leadership. For a variety of reasons, the Air Force, which dropped over 6 million tons of bombs, has not faced up to the implications of its defeat. Presumed First Edition, later (1993) printing.

Card covers, xx/308pp, b&w photos. Light wear to card edges; a near fine copy. Tilford demolishes the myths that abound concerning the US air war in Southeast Asia. He challenges both the USAF's strategic tunnel vision and the misconceptions of many civilian historians whose criticisms of the air war in Vietnam appear long on politics and short on facts. In his analysis of the air war against North Vietnam he presents one overwhelming lesson: that USAF strategic bombing doctrine was ethnocentric and Eurocentric, and was conceived utterly without regard to important cultural and political variations among potential adversaries. The central point that Tilford presents is that the failure of American air power in the Vietnam War cannot be blamed entirely on politicians "who tied our hands", a pernicious and "wayward" press, or the antiwar movement. Air Force leaders, especially the air cammanders in Saigon, Honolulu and Washington between 1964 and 1972, share much of the blame. In the final analysis, they could not develop a strategy appropriate to the war at hand.
