Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. Overall, a very nice clean copy. vi, 297 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Having been an Air Force historian for almost forty-five years, I have been in a unique position to observe the role of the United States Air Force (USAF) in national security affairs. Even with this vantage point, one hesitates to put together a collection of essays on the Air Force and national security, as this presupposes the reader's interest not only in the subject but with a collection of essays published at intervals over a long period of time. This is to say that one trusts that the dated nature of essays is outweighed by insights provided to the reader in the context of important periods in the nation's military history. Such are the pitfalls of the genre, and yet the essayist plunges ahead, trusting that the collection will illuminate the impact of air power technology and strategy upon national security affairs and diplomacy. I have included essays on Generals James H. Doolittle and George C. Kenney in order to add some spice to the collection and, moreover, to insert the careers of two great airmen whose long suit was character. I have attempted to arrange these essays chronologically, but a certain amount of repetition is nonetheless inherent in the collection. For this, I beg the reader's patience. Although more years ago than I care to remember I had suggested a collection to the late John F. Loosbrock, editor-in-chief of Air Force Magazine; Richard P. Hallion, the Air Force Historian, brought up the idea at the dawn of the millenium, and for his enthusiasm and support I am deeply grateful.
