The Air Force monographs have proven useful to historians because of their high quality. The Karlsruhe monographs writers were insulated from outside pressure, and produced studies immediately useful to the military. The Air Force ignored the monographs and failed to benefit from the experience of the Luftwaffe. The author illustrates the inherent tensions in writing official military history and uses the Karlsruhe project as a lens to examine problems plaguing the Air Force during the early Cold War. Still, cooperative historical work proved to be an inexpensive and unexpected way of cementing the critical West German-American military alliance, and both air forces came to value this aspect of the project more than the historical studies it produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Shaughnessy,Air University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780399677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780399676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Military Bookshop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.35d","brand":"Ryan Shaughnessy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241486790911,"sku":"9781780399676","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_000c7d11-cb14-41f0-95e8-2666fa250314.jpg?v=1772654626","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-sense-dwelling-in-the-ryan-shaughnessy-9781780399676","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
