LeMay: The Life and Wars of General Curtis LeMay

The firebombing of Tokyo. Strategic Air Command. John F. Kennedy. Dr. Strangelove. George Wallace. All of these have one man in common — General Curtis Lemay, who remains as enigmatic and controversial as he was in life.

Curtis Lemay’s life spanned an epoch in American military history, from the small U.S. army air corps of the interwar years to the nuclear age.
