This isn't my usual genre, even within non-fiction I'm not usually drawn to these types of topics. It was informative, interesting, and the writing style was easy to read (even though the subject matter wasn't always what i would call easy reading). I would probably suggest it to people I know are interested in history or the airforce, but this wasn't so life changing and earth shattering amazing that I'm going to run around suggesting it to everybody I know.

This was an incredibly informative and fascinating audiobook! A rare look at an overlooked part of history that dictated how we wage wars. Full of Malcolm’s obsessive detail and fresh perspective on history, this is a must listen for all. I have a very limited knowledge of WWII but the way the book is written is suitable for anyone. Really puts the moral question of war at the forefront and challenges whether people choose to stick to their morals under all circumstances or get tempted by the devil. It’s a much shorter book that I listened to over two days and it’s similar to his podcast format which I found to be highly engaging. Highly recommend!
