Book Synopsis
This volume presents a comprehensive history of airpower in small wars - conflicts pitting states against non-state groups such as insurgents, bandits, factions and terrorists - tracing it from the early years of the 20th century to the present day and examining conflicts with different scenarios.

Trade Review
An extraordinarily timely and illuminating work. With the United States embroiled in a new era of quasi-imperial small wars, Corum and Johnson make a major contribution to our understanding of what airpower can and cannot do in such conflicts. Andrew J. Bacevich, author of American Empire: The Realities and Consequences of U.S. Diplomacy; ""A superb study that should be essential reading for anyone interested in the Cold War, counterinsurgency, or air power."" Jonathan M. House, author of Combined Arms Warfare in the Twentieth Century; ""A masterful survey of the use of airpower in unconventional warfare that has a great deal of relevance for today."" Brian M. Linn, author of the Philippine War, 1899-1902
