Synopsis "El Clan de los Bombarderos (in Spanish)"

LA SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL CONTADA DESDE EL AIRE Qué ocurre cuando la tecnología y las mejores intenciones chocan en el fragor de la batalla? Durante los años previos a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en una base aérea de Alabama, un grupo de pilotos renegados forjó una idea radical. Qué pasaría si los bombardeos fueran tan precisos como para que las guerras pudieran librarse solamente desde el aire? Podrían los brutales enfrentamientos entre los ejércitos de tierra convertirse en cosa del pasado? Este libro cuenta lo que ocurrió cuando se intentó llevar a la práctica ese sueño. Malcolm Gladwell sigue los pasos de un genio holandés y su ordenador analógico casero, del grupo de científicos pirómanos de Harvard que inventaron el napalm, de un brillante piloto que cantaba tonadas a su equipo y del comandante que ordenaría uno de los ataques más sangrientos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A su más puro estilo, Gladwell les saca todo el jugo a estos personajes fascinantes y nos conduce ágilmente a través de una serie de dilemas que cambiaron el rumbo de la historia para preguntarnos cuál puede llegar a ser el precio del progreso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A "truly compelling" book --Good Morning America New York Times bestseller that explores how technology and best intentions collide in the heat of war --from the creator and host of the podcast Revisionist History. In The Bomber Mafia, Malcolm Gladwell weaves together the stories of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a band of brothers in central Alabama, a British psychopath, and pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard to examine one of the greatest moral challenges in modern American history. Most military thinkers in the years leading up to World War II saw the airplane as an afterthought. But a small band of idealistic strategists, the "Bomber Mafia," asked: What if precision bombing could cripple the enemy and make war far less lethal? In contrast, the bombing of Tokyo on the deadliest night of the war was the brainchild of General Curtis LeMay, whose brutal pragmatism and scorched-earth tactics in Japan cost thousands of civilian lives, but may have spared even more by averting a planned US invasion. In The Bomber Mafia, Gladwell asks, "Was it worth it?" Things might have gone differently had LeMay's predecessor, General Haywood Hansell, remained in charge. Hansell believed in precision bombing, but when he and Curtis LeMay squared off for a leadership handover in the jungles of Guam, LeMay emerged victorious, leading to the darkest night of World War II. The Bomber Mafia is a riveting tale of persistence, innovation, and the incalculable wages of war.

Malcolm Gladwell (Fareham, September 3, 1963) is a Canadian journalist, writer, and sociologist, son of a Jamaican psychologist and an English mathematics professor. Although born in England in 1963, at the age of six (1969) he moved with his family to Canada, where he was raised. At the University of Toronto, he graduated in History (1984) and, after being rejected by several advertising agencies, began his journalism career at a magazine in Indiana, The American Spectator. From there he moved to The Washington Post (1987-1996), where he spent nearly a decade, first in the Science section and then as head of the New York bureau for business.

By then he began reading academic research in sociology and psychology in search of ideas for reports, something that underpins much of his work and sparks many controversies in the sense that he tends to highlight the most documented exceptions to the rules of general opinion. In 1996 he started working at The New Yorker.
