Recenzii
“Martin
van
Creveld's
new
book
is
sure
to
enlighten….[It]
comprehensively
surveys
the
rise
and
evolution
of
aerial
warfare
from
the
dawn
of
the
20th
century
to
our
own
day.
No
conflict
or
air-power
variant
seems
to
have
escaped
van
Creveld's
formidable
attention.
He
covers
naval
aviation,
helicopters,
remotely
piloted
vehicles
("drones")
and
space.
This
volume,
like
the
others
produced
by
van
Creveld,
deserves
a
place
on
the
bookshelf
of
any
serious
student
of
military
affairs.”
New York Times, April 30, 2011
"Martin van Creveld's work is always worth reading. 'The Age of Airpower' is equal parts historical survey, idiosyncratic editorializing, and bold prediction. Airpower advocates and critics alike need to engage with this book."
CHOICE, August 2011
Kirkus, January 15, 2011
“A polished, readable narrative.”
New York Times Book Review, April 24, 2011
“As Martin van Creveld shows in this brisk, original and authoritative history, since it's zenith during World War II, when two United States B-29s ended the global struggle by dropping their payloads on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the value of air power has largely fizzled…I hope that this spring, van Creveld's timely book will remind NATO leaders supervising the bombing campaign in the Libyan civil war of how often in history we have watched air power lead unexpectedly to ground fighting on quicksand.”
Library Journal
“A brilliantly formulated, exhaustively researched, and engagingly written critique of America's once vaunted military service, this is sure to arouse much controversy among interested parties.”
Foreign Affairs, May/June 2011
“A new book from Van Creveld is always something to be savored. There have been many previous histories of airpower, but none so comprehensive and sensitive to context as this one.”
