Reviewing Michael S. Sherry's The Rise of American Air Power: The Creation of Armageddon in the Autumn 1988 issue of VQR, Berkeley Professor Eric J. Sundquist concluded: "Sherry's history is rich and brilliantly detailed in its combination of military, political, and social concerns. No account of contemporary strategy in the age of Armageddon can afford to ignore this provocative study of the rise to dominance of air power in America." Sherry's account of air power's rise received the 1987 Bancroft Prize in History. A paper edition of this book is now available from Yale, its original publisher [$14.95].
