Air power is a powerful tool that has revolutionized warfare in the 20th century. It has given nations the ability to project power over long distances, to strike at targets with precision, and to devastate enemy forces. Air power has also been used for coercion, to intimidate and pressure adversaries into submission.

In Air Power and Coercion in War, Michael Mazarr provides a comprehensive and authoritative study of the role of air power in modern warfare. Mazarr examines the history of air power, its technological development, and its impact on the conduct of war. He also explores the ethical and legal implications of the use of air power, and its potential for both good and evil.

Mazarr argues that air power is a powerful tool that can be used for both good and evil. It can be used to deter aggression, to protect civilians, and to promote peace. However, it can also be used to wage war, to commit atrocities, and to suppress dissent. The key to responsible use of air power lies in understanding its capabilities and limitations, and in weighing the potential benefits and risks of its use.

Air Power and Coercion in War is a must-read for anyone interested in the role of air power in modern warfare. It is a comprehensive and authoritative study that provides a deep understanding of the history, technology, and ethics of air power.
