Excellent General History

Denis Richards is an excellent writer and he has written an excellent one-volume history of Bomber Command. I have read many histories of the USAAF and RAF Bomber offensive and all refer to aircraft losses as a percentage, it is not a lack of moral fiber at all. There were different views between the British and the Americans on the best way to conduct the war and this book is excellent for discussing the viewpoint of the British.
