Summary:
"
World
War
II
is usually seen as a titanic land battle, decided by mass armies, most importantly those on the Eastern Front. Phillips Payson O'Brien shows us the
war
in a completely different light. In this compelling new history of the
Allied
path to
victory
, he argues that in terms of production, technology and economic
power
, the
war
was far more a contest of air and sea than of land supremacy. He shows
how
the Allies developed a predominance of air and sea
power
which put unbearable pressure on Germany and Japan's entire war-fighting machine from Europe and the Mediterranean to the Pacific. Air and sea
power
dramatically expanded the area of battle and allowed the Allies to destroy over half of the Axis' equipment before it had even reached the traditional 'battlefield'. Battles such as El Alamein, Stalingrad and Kursk did not win
World
War
II
; air and sea
power
did."--Publisher.
