Features: Bombs rain from the sky, artillery fire falls from the sky, war falls from the sky! The torrent of bombs turned a Libyan city into ruins in just 12 minutes. The mushroom clouds from the "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" remain etched in memory. The new weapons brought by high technology are even more terrifying: precision-guided missiles, cluster bombs, depleted uranium rounds, electromagnetic pulse bombs, and high-explosive airburst bombs. Bombing is both an art and a tactic. It empowers the weak and strengthens the strong. Since aircraft were used in war, bombing has been closely linked to warfare. The "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" descended gracefully upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki, their mushroom clouds soaring into the sky. American planes roared over Libya, dropping thousands of kilograms of bombs in just 12 minutes, reducing the city to ruins. There was the relentless artillery fire in the jungles of Vietnam, the bombs scattered by Israel onto Iraq, and the high-tech, devastating bombing of the Gulf War. This book will count down the famous bombing campaigns in history, describe the scenes of bombing battles, lift the veil on the bombers, and take you back to unforgettable historical moments.
