As mentioned, my criticisms of this book tend towards the more strictly military side of things. The Polish air force was not destroyed on the ground in 1939 without warning. Lemay's phraseology regarding the German breakthrough in returning mobility to warfare in 1939-1940 suggests that he hasn't quite grasped the new operational thinking on just what the "blitzkrieg" was really about. It would also be nice to see some of the works of David Glantz in the biography.
However, what would have most strengthened this work is to have considered Isabel Hull's "Absolute Destruction," which is probably the most insightful work to date in terms of putting the roots of German operational expediency into context.½
