What I have been reading lately #13

Lemay by Barrett Tillman is part of the Great Generals Series.  I am about half-way through, which takes us to 1949 and the Berlin Airlift.  So far LeMay has helped perfect daylight bombing of Nazi-occupied Europe and night-time incendiary raids against Japan.  Still to come - LeMay's advocacy of nuclear weapons use against north Vietnam and his vice-presidential bid as George Wallace's running mate in 1968.
