To Hanoi And Back

by Wayne Thompson

"By the summer of 1966, the U.S. Air Force's reputation had hit rock bottom in Vietnam. In 1972 the two Linebacker campaigns joined with other air operations to make a dramatic, although temporary, difference. While they unleashed powerful B-52 area bombers, the campaigns also demonstrated the efficacy of newly developed laser-guided precision bombs.". "Drawing upon twenty years of research in classified records, Wayne Thompson integrates operational, political, and personal detail to present a full history of the Air Force role in the war against North Vietnam."--BOOK JACKET.
