LA SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL CONTADA DESDE EL AIRE
Qu?ocurre cuando la tecnolog燰 y las mejores intenciones chocan en el fragor de la batalla? Durante los a隳s previos a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en una base a廨ea de Alabama, un grupo de pilotos renegados forj?una idea radical. Qu?pasar燰 si los bombardeos fueran tan precisos como para que las guerras pudieran librarse solamente desde el aire? Podr燰n los brutales enfrentamientos entre los ej廨citos de tierra convertirse en cosa del pasado? Este libro cuenta lo que ocurri?cuando se intent?llevar a la pr塶tica ese sue隳. Malcolm Gladwell sigue los pasos de un genio holand廥 y su ordenador anal鏬ico casero, del grupo de cient璗icos pir鏔anos de Harvard que inventaron el napalm, de un brillante piloto que cantaba tonadas a su equipo y del comandante que ordenar燰 uno de los ataques m嫳 sangrientos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A "truly compelling" book --Good Morning America
New York Times bestseller that explores how technology and best intentions collide in the heat of war --from the creator and host of the podcast Revisionist History. In The Bomber Mafia, Malcolm Gladwell weaves together the stories of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a band of brothers in central Alabama, a British psychopath, and pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard to examine one of the greatest moral challenges in modern American history. Most military thinkers in the years leading up to World War II saw the airplane as an afterthought. But a small band of idealistic strategists, the "Bomber Mafia," asked: What if precision bombing could cripple the enemy and make war far less lethal? In contrast, the bombing of Tokyo on the deadliest night of the war was the brainchild of General Curtis LeMay, whose brutal pragmatism and scorched-earth tactics in Japan cost thousands of civilian lives, but may have spared even more by averting a planned US invasion. In The Bomber Mafia, Gladwell asks, "Was it worth it?" Things might have gone differently had LeMay's predecessor, General Haywood Hansell, remained in charge. Hansell believed in precision bombing, but when he and Curtis LeMay squared off for a leadership handover in the jungles of Guam, LeMay emerged victorious, leading to the darkest night of World War II. The Bomber Mafia is a riveting tale of persistence, innovation, and the incalculable wages of war.
