			        		&#x201C;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.&#x201D; &#x2015;Carl Rollyson, The New York Sun&#x201C;[Tillman] retrieves some of the enduring lessons of leadership that can be learned from one of America&apos;s greatest airmen...[and] skillfully blends elements from LeMay&apos;s personal and professional lives with the historical, providing a remarkably nuanced appreciation for this greatest of bomber generals.&#x201D; &#x2015;Naval War College Review&#x201C;A good start for anyone unfamiliar with this most influential airman of World War II.&#x201D; &#x2015;Clayton Chun, WWII&#x201C;He was the nation&apos;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&apos;s top history writers, gives us an authentic feel for LeMay and for the way LeMay left his mark on the twentieth century.&#x201D; &#x2015;Robert F. Dorr, author of Air Combat and columnist for the Air Force Times&#x201C;A brilliant book! Barrett Tillman describes the true magnitude of LeMay&apos;s achievements, while rendering the first posthumous biography of a complex, controversial figure. Objective and beautifully written, this portrait of history&apos;s greatest air commander is an absolute must for every aviation or military historian and for anyone interested in leadership.&#x201D; &#x2015;Walter J. Boyne, author of Roaring Thunder and former Director, National Air & Space Museum&#x201C;Thorough, balanced, and insightful, Barrett Tillman&apos;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&apos;s most famous and controversial combat bomber commander.&#x201D; &#x2015;Dr. Richard P. Hallion, Aviation Historian, author of Taking Flight: Inventing the Aerial Age from Antiquity Through the First World War
