Another wonderfully entertaining book by a great story-teller. I had seen the Fog of War documentary 20 years ago, and I remember Robert McNamara's comments about Curtis LeMay. But I did not know about the effectiveness of the Norden bombsight, or details of all the other characters in the story. Readers must remember that Gladwell is highly opinionated and uses loaded language with great story-telling to slant the facts. So keep wikipedia handy. 4/5 Stars. The book is very entertaining.
