Известный журналист и писатель Малкольм Гладуэлл рассказывает о группе авиаторов из США, одержимых идеей прицельного бомбометания — военной доктриной, которая потенциально позволила бы снизить количество жертв среди солдат противника и мирного населения. Для 30-х годов XX века эта идея была революционной: вместо того чтобы уничтожать ковровыми бомбардировками всё живое на огромной территории, «бомбардировочная мафия» предлагала использовать самолеты нового класса, которые смогли бы точечно выводить из строя ключевые военные и гражданские объекты. Гладуэлл виртуозно переплетает судьбы нескольких героев — изобретателя бомбового прицела, американских и британских генералов и инженеров. Все они работали на благо своего народа, но по-разному видели оптимальный способ ведения войны, и на страницах этой книги история их противостояния становится напряженным документальным триллером.
