Book Synopsis
Long the neglected stepchild in studies of World War II air campaigns, German anti-aircraft units have been frequently dismissed by historians as ineffective weapons that wasted valuable resources. Edward Westermann disagrees with that view and makes a convincing case for the contributions made by the range of German anti-aircraft defenses.

Trade Review
Makes a persuasive case that flak played a more important role than is reflected in the standard studies of the combined bomber offensive and the Luftwaffe....The book reads well, tackles interpretations that have become generally accepted, and contains a wealth of information that will interest a broader audience." —German Studies Review

"A major and convincing contribution to our knowledge of the German military and aerial warfare." —International History Review

"A remarkable study." —Richard R. Muller, author of The German Air War in Russia
