THE INFLUENCE OF AIRPOWER UPON HISTORY: STATESMANSHIP, DIPLOMACY, AND FOREIGN POLICY SINCE 1903
Book ID/图书代码： 13012015B79337
English Summary/英文概要： From early zeppelins, to the Luftwaffe and the Enola Gay, to the unmanned aerial vehicles of today, air power has long been regarded as an invaluable instrument of war. However, nations have employed aircraft for many other purposes as well; they provide security and surveillance, and they are vital to myriad diplomatic and humanitarian efforts. Air power has become a means for statesmen to advance a variety of goals, opening up new possibilities and problems in times of peace as well as war.
The Influence of Air Power upon History examines the many ways in which aviation technology has impacted policymaking since 1903. It analyzes air strategy in nations around the world and explores how a country’s presumed technological capability, or lack thereof, has become a crucial aspect of diplomacy. Together, the essays in this insightful volume offer a greater understanding of the history of military force and diplomatic relations in the global community.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 无论在历史上任何一个时期，空军一直都被看做是战争中无价的力量。而与此同时，各国鉴于其他各种目的部署空中力量：不仅提供安保和监督，对外交和人权也极为关键。无论是在和平年代还是战争年代，对于政治家而言，空中力量已经演变成一种推进各种目标、开启新的机遇的手段。
《空中力量对历史的影响》一书详细审视了1903年以来航空技术对政治决策的各种影响，分析了世界各国的空中策略，探讨了一个国家的技术能力（或缺乏该类技术能力）在外交中扮演的关键角色，整体而言，本书针对全球范围内的军事力量和外交关系提供了更为深入的了解。(LYR)
