The most recent book by Donald L. Miller, John Henry MacCracken Professor of History, garnered a glowing review in the Nov. 8 edition of The New York Times.
Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany, released Oct. 10 by Simon & Schuster, is Miller’s eighth published work and third WWII book. It examines the social and psychological effects of World War II on bomber crews of the American Eighth Air Force, German citizens, and the English people.
Time’s reviewer William Grimes says Masters of the Air is a “searching, thoroughly engrossing history of the American air war against Nazi Germany” and writes that Miller “vividly recreates the day-to-day life of the men who flew the missions and their comrades on the ground.” Read the complete review here.
Masters was recently reviewed by AmericanHeritage.com and an interview with Miller aired Friday, Nov. 10, on the Lehigh Valley PBS newsmagazine show Tempo! The interview can be viewed through the Tempo! webcast here.
Masters has also been named “Book of the Year” by World War II Magazine. In addition, Miller was asked by Clint Eastwood, director of the new feature film “Flags of Our Fathers,” to write the introductory article in World War II Magazine’s current issue, a special collector’s edition on Iwo Jima.
