The Bomber Mafia: A Dream, a Temptation, and the Longest Night of the Second World WarThe Bomber Mafia: A Dream, a Temptation, and the Longest Night of the Second World War by Malcolm Gladwell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I wasn't quite sure I was getting into with this book. I thought it was just okay. it did teach me some interesting things about the birth and growth of the US Air Force during WWII. At times it felt like it dragged and maybe the author/narrator voice is what made it hard for me to enjoy.
