Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Since 1972, the United States Air Force has argued that its operations against North Vietnam were unsuccessful primarily through a combination of civilian interference and poor strategic choices. Often citing the success of Operation Linebacker II as an example of what might have been had its leaders been given free rein, for almost fifty years the Air Force has maintained that its proper employment is the key to winning Americas wars.In Barren SEAD, award winning historian James L. Young Jr. propagates a different theory: Instead of being a sign of what the Air Force was capable of, Linebacker II was a bitter failure that starkly outlined the USAFs limitations. Furthermore, instead of the meddling of the Johnson and Nixon Administrations, this defeat was brought about by Air Force leaders refusal to develop a Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) doctrine from 19531972. Relying primarily on Air Force archival documents, memoirs, and contemporary doctrinal publications, Dr. Young illustrates just how dangerous the Air Forces failure to nurture its SEAD capability was during this period of the Cold War.James L. Young Jr. holds a doctorate in U.S. History from Kansas State University and is a graduate of the United States Military Academy. He is the winner of the United States Naval Institute's 2016 Cyberwarfare Essay Contest and a runner up in the 2011 James Adams Cold War Essay Contest, with other articles published in Armor, The Journal of Military History, and Proceedings. In addition to Barren SEAD, which is his first nonfiction book, Dr. Young also writes alternate history (Usurper's War series and Phases of Mars anthologies) and military science fiction (Vergassy Universe).
