N2  - A study of military coercion and the role of air power in acheiving it. Considers why some states change behaviour in response to military threats whereas others fo not. Argues that successful coercion is based not on threats to civilian populations but when it targets military vulnerabilities. Assesses the role of airpower in the allied war war with Japan in 1944-45, in the Korean War 1950-53, in Vietnam from 1965-1972, in the Gulf war against Iraq 1991, and against Germany in the Second World War
