About This Item
Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2000. good, good. 352, illus., footnotes, acronyms, index, minor pencil brackets and underlining up through p. 70 approx. This is a RAND Research Study. In this balanced appraisal of air power's newly realized strengths in joint warfare, Lambeth explores the extent to which the United States can now rely on air-delivered precision weapons in lieu of ground forces to achieve strategic objectives and minimize American casualties. Beginning with the U.S. experience in Southeast Asia and detailing how failures there set the stage for a sweepng refurbishment of the nation's air warfare capability, Lambeth reviews the recent history of American air power, including its role in the Gulf war and in later conflicts in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Serbia. He examines improvements in areas ranging from hardware development to aircrew skills and organizational adaptability. He concludes that air power, its strategic effectiveness proven, can now set the conditions for victory even from the outset of combat if applied to its fullest potential.
