Synopsis
Kozak's biography of U.S. Air Force General Curtis E. LeMay (1906--1990) won't convert those utterly convinced that he was a bomb-happy maniac. The more open-minded, however, will find in it a broader perspective on this controversial officer than we have had elsewhere. His outstanding competence as leader and organizer of strategic airpower in World War II and during the cold war is convincingly presented; so are his limitations in the Pentagon and his poor judgment in being George Wallace's running mate in 1968. Kozak suggests that LeMay was utterly dedicated to the mission of destroying his country's enemies and to the men under his command charged with carrying out that mission. This led to what can only be called a certain lack of the social graces and a good many of what might charitably be called misinterpretations of where LeMay's patriotism led him. A book that definitely belongs in aviation and modern military history collections., Kozak's biography of U.S. Air Force General Curtis E.

    Item as described and seller answered all my questions, making me feel confident in this purchase. Exquisite care taken in packaging. Seller offered companion item, which I accepted, and shipped them promptly together. There was no void space in box which can lead to crushing when stacked during the shipping process. That did not happen. Box was pristine! I cannot wait to see my daughter’s face when she opens this on Christmas Day!  Thank you!!!

    This seller couldn't have been better! She answered my questions promptly, sent me photos I requested and when the book arrived, on time, not only was it in excellent condition, but she had packaged it better than any item I can ever remember receiving in my many years of purchasing on Ebay! She also worked with me wonderfully on the price of the book that I purchased and there is not enough good that I can say about this seller! Thank you and please feel totally positive about any purchase! :-)

    This OOP book was as described in the listing and was in excellent condition given its age and was a good price compared to other listings. It was dispatched promptly and arrived ahead of the estimated delivery date. It was very well packaged and couldn’t get much better protection. It was the first time that I’ve used this seller and would definitely purchase from them again.
