A spectacularly illustrated new history and analysis of the strategic bombing campaign in the Korean War, which saw the last combat of America's legendary B-29s. Just five years after they defeated Japan, at the dawn of the jet age, the most advanced bomber of World War II was already obsolescent. But the legendary war-winning Superfortresses had one more war to fight, in the strategic air campaign against North Korea. The bombers' task was to destroy North Korea's facilities for waging war, from industry and hydroelectric dams to airfields and bridges. However, it was a challenging campaign, in which the strategy was not merely military but political. In this fascinating book, airpower scholar and former RAF pilot Michael Napier explains how the campaign was fought, and how the technique of 'bombing to negotiate' that would become notorious in Vietnam was already being used in Korea. He analyses in detail the relationship between battlefield progress, armistice negotiations and the bombing strategy developed over the complex campaign. In the skies over Korea, the B-29s operated in a new world dominated by jet fighters and jet age technology, and tactics were developing rapidly. Packed with original illustrations, this book includes dramatic air scenes featuring B-29s, MiG-15s, AD Skyraiders and Skyknight jet nightfighters in action. It also includes maps, 3D recreations of missions and explanatory 3D diagrams to bring the conflict to life. This is a fascinating, dramatic account of the last battles of the piston-engined aircraft era as the superpowers vied for victory in the first clash of the Cold War.

How could visiting Seoul be described in a way that allows someone else to feel like they are right there? What to say? What perspectives to choose? »What Should I Say-About Seoul« takes the reader on a path less traveled: The work and daily-life of Korean designers; but not just as a spectator. Traveling invites the traveler to question one's own perspective. The reader is invited to also learn about Korean designers' views on Germany. The insights found through this process are inspiring as well as challenging.»What Should I Say-About Seoul« gives a glimpse into South Korean society that is not so common after all. The editors focused on the works and experiences of designers. Some of the insights into the Seoul work experience appear grim at places, colored by the ongoing pandemic that forced people to cut down on social interactions.Also included are the experiences of Korean-German designers in the book and through that is could be noticed that there is really no reason to think of Germany as a country that "has it figured out." The modern workplace can be a very mixed bag at times and bad working conditions plague the creative ­industry worldwide. Speaking about these experiences allows us to feel less isolated and work towards change-so it is not all doom and gloom.

The captivating story of an influential journalist demonstrates the value of a free press to democratic societyIn the decades between the Great Depression and the advent of cable television, when daily newspapers set the conversational agenda in the United States, the best reporter in the business was a rumpled, hard-drinking figure named Homer Bigart. Despite two Pulitzers and a host of other prizes, he quickly faded from public view after retirement. Few today know the extent to which he was esteemed by his peers. Get the Damn Story is the first comprehensive biography to encompass all of Bigart‿s journalism, including both his war reporting and coverage of domestic events. Writing for the New York Herald Tribune and the New York Times, Bigart brought to life many events that defined the era‿the wars in Europe, the Pacific, Korea, and Vietnam; the civil rights movement; the creation of Israel; the end of colonialism in Africa; and the Cuban Revolution. The news media‿s collective credibility may have diminished in the age of Twitter, but Bigart‿s career demonstrates the value to a democratic society of a relentless, inquiring mind examining its institutions and the people who run them. The principle remains the same today: the truth matters. Historians and journalists alike will find Bigart‿s story well worth reading.
