Bombing to Win

Air Power and Coercion in War
Book • 1996
In 'Bombing to Win', Robert A. Pape examines over thirty air campaigns to argue that coercive airpower can succeed by targeting an enemy's military strategy rather than its economy or population.

The book provides detailed narratives of airpower use in World War II, the Gulf War, and other conflicts, concluding that airpower is no 'magic bullet' for winning wars inexpensively.
