Synopsis
Sir Arthur Harris - Bomber Harris - remains the target of criticism and vilification by many, while others believe the contribution he and his men made to victory is grossly undervalued. He led the men of Bomber Command in the face of appalling casualties, had fierce disagreements with higher authority and enjoyed a complicated relationship with Winston Churchill. Written soon after the close of World War 2, this collection of Sir Arthur Harris's memoirs reveals the man behind the Allied bombing offensive that culminated in the destruction of the Nazi war machine but also many beautiful cities, including Dresden

About the Author
Arthur Travers Harris was born on 13 April 1892 at Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. He joined the Royal Flying Corp in 1915, remaining in the RAF after the war. In 1939 he was given command of No.5 Group, before taking over at Bomber Command in 1942. He was appointed Marshal of the Royal Air Force in 1946.
Review
Bomber Offensive is a book all students of World War II and airpower simply must read. Compared to the memoirs of contemporaries such as Alexander, Montgomery, Slim, and Cunningham, page after page of Harris' book reverberates with ferocious, uncompromising blasts. Whether these prove Harris was always as right as he believed, or even that he was correct in his single-minded pursuit of area bombing, is best left to the reader to decide. (Stone & Stone Second World War Books)
