How the War Was Won

Phillips Payson O'Brien challenges the conventional view of World War II as a land war, arguing Allied victory was decisively achieved through air and sea power. He reveals how superior Allied production, technology, and economic might forged an overwhelming air and sea dominance that pressured Axis war machines across Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific. This strategic advantage allowed the Allies to destroy over half of Axis equipment before it even reached traditional battlefields. O'Brien contends that iconic ground battles were secondary to the strategic impact of air and sea superiority in winning the war.
