RAF Bomber Command with Marcus Gibson, author of The Greatest Force

Episode 282

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.
