History Happy Hour Episode 282 – RAF Bomber Command

Guest: Marcus Gibson

The Greatest Force

This Week on History Happy Hour: In his new book The Greatest Force, author Marcus Gibson argues that RAF Bomber Command was the No.1 factor in Germany’s defeat. Rather than being too costly in terms of crew lives and civilian casualties, he argues that the impact of bombing fully justified the effort put into it.  

Chris and Rick explore this challenging topic with him.

Sunday at 4PM ET on History Happy Hour, where history is always on tap.


Marcus Gibson has written for The Financial Times, The European and Daily Telegraph newspapers as well as BBC R4 News. In 1984 he contributed to the Dictionary of the British Heritage published by Cambridge University Press. He is also the author Bootstrapping Your Business, published in 2016.  He lives in London
