دانلود کتاب TO HANOI & BACK

By the summer of 1966, the U.S. Air Force’s reputation had hit rock bottom in Vietnam. After nearly eighteen months of the limited bombing campaign called Operation Rolling Thunder, North Vietnam’s airfields, principal port, and capital city remained largely unscathed. In 1972 the two Linebacker campaigns joined with other air operations to make a dramatic, although temporary, difference. Wayne Thompson draws upon twenty years of research in classified records to present a full history of the Air Force role in the war against North Vietnam. He provides an unprecedented view of the motivations and actions of the people involved—from aircrews to generals to politicians—in every phase of the air campaigns.
