Bomber Harris

The book delves into the controversial bombing campaign against Germany during World War II, focusing on Bomber Command's area bombing strategy aimed at demoralizing the German population. Sir Arthur Harris's dispatches reveal the effectiveness of this approach, which nearly led to Germany's collapse but raised ethical concerns due to high civilian casualties. The government's decision to withhold these dispatches, unlike those from other military branches, adds to the intrigue, as the book includes the full text of Harris's reports and explores the reasons behind their suppression.
