How the War Was Won: Air-Sea Power and Allied Victory in World War II by Phillip

Description: How the War Was Won by Phillips Payson O'Brien Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book challenges the view that World War II was decided by land battles. It argues that victory was due to the production and allocation of American and British air and sea weaponry that was used to destroy over half of the Axiss equipment before it reached the traditional battlefield. Publisher Description World War II is usually seen as a titanic land battle, decided by mass armies, most importantly those on the Eastern Front. Phillips Payson OBrien shows us the war in a completely different light. In this compelling new history of the Allied path to victory, he argues that in terms of production, technology and economic power, the war was far more a contest of air and sea than of land supremacy. He shows how the Allies developed a predominance of air and sea power which put unbearable pressure on Germany and Japans entire war-fighting machine from Europe and the Mediterranean to the Pacific. Air and sea power dramatically expanded the area of battle and allowed the Allies to destroy over half of the Axis equipment before it had even reached the traditional battlefield. Battles such as El Alamein, Stalingrad and Kursk did not win World War II; air and sea power did. Author Biography Phillips Payson OBrien gained a Ph.D. in History after two years working on Wall Street.

More recently, he has taken a leading role as a commentator on defence issues and the debate over Scottish Independence. He has testified in front of UK parliamentary committees, and advised major European governments on the course of the campaign. Through this work he has gained media experience, appearing as a regular commentator for the BBC and STV, and publishing opinion pieces in the Scotsman and the Scottish Herald. He has received awards or research fellowships from the Carnegie Foundation, the US Naval History and Heritage Command, and the Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt Presidential libraries.
