I know very little about ww2–enough to be dangerous but by no means an expert. As always, Gladwell takes a complex topic, the shift in bombing strategy regarding Japan, and makes it accessible. This is a morally and historically interesting read.
Great story-telling from the author. Engaged in this entertaining story from beginning to end.
This is basically a long episode of his podcast. Which, fine, but it shouldn't have been a book. It doesn't feel like a Gladwell book- it feels like an episode of Revisionist History. And a third of the book being clips did not work for me - the audio quality is usually poor so I would rather the author just read the quote in most cases. I think Gladwell got a little too into using direct clips in the podcast and is blurring the lines too much here - a book should have a lot more from the author themself. This book honestly just felt like a cash grab, my least favorite of Gladwell's stuff by a large margin.
I listened to this one. It was informative and engaging. Similar to a podcast
