A concise, comprehensive account of the air war in Southeast Asia, packed with data, that covers all theaters of the war.--Prados, John

A timely and judicious account, Like Rolling Thunder skillfully addresses both the successes and failures of one of the more controversial aspects of America's war in Southeast Asia.--Ernst, John

Ronald B. Frankum, Jr., offers a compelling, readable, and concise overview of a complex, intricate, and long air war, perhaps the dominant aspect of America's longest war . Much of the earlier writing on air war, mine included, reflected passions attached to the controversies we lived. Frankum's writing thankfully is devoid of such emotion. Like Rolling Thunder offers a good overview of a complex story bolstered by statistics, informative maps, photographs of the primary weapon systems, and a useful glossary to make sense of the abundant acronyms. The concluding bibliographic essay alone is worth the price of the book. will be especially useful in undergraduate Vietnam War courses.--Earl H. Tilford
