Description
The War Was Won: Air-Sea Power and Allied Victory in World War II Phillips Payson O'Brien presents a fresh perspective on one of history's most pivotal conflicts. This compelling new history argues that the war was not solely decided by land battles, but rather by the strategic use of air and sea power. By examining the development of air and sea power during World War II, O'Brien shows how the Allies were able to gain a significant advantage over their enemies. The result was a dramatic expansion of the area of battle, allowing the Allies to destroy a substantial portion of the Axis equipment before it even reached the traditional battlefield. The impact of this approach is evident in key battles such as El Alamein, Stalingrad, and Kursk, which were ultimately won by the Allies through their mastery of air and sea power.
