    Following his election, President Obama's supporters and detractors anticipated radical reform. As the first African American to serve as president, he reached the White House on a campaign promise of change. But, as Burton Kaufman explores in this insightful biography, Obama showed clear patterns of classical conservativism of an ideological sort and basic policy-making pragmatism. His commitment to usher in a multiracial, multiethnic, and multicultural society was fundamentally connected to opening up, but not radically altering, the existing free enterprise system.  The Affordable Care Act was a distillation of President Obama's complex motivations for policy. More conservative than radical, the ACA fitted the expansion of health insurance into the existing system. Similarly, in foreign policy, Obama eschewed the use of force to affect regime change. Yet he kept boots on the ground in the Middle East and supported ballot-box revolts geared toward achieving in foreign countries the same principles of liberalism, free enterprise, and competition that existed in the United States.  In estimating the course and impact of Obama's full political life, Kaufman makes clear that both the desire for and fear of change in the American polity affected the popular perception but not the course of action of the forty-fourth US president.

    “A vivid account of the experiences of 10 men who volunteered to risk their lives on air operations during World War II” (Pennant Magazine). A profound respect for the RAF aircrews of the Second World War led aviation historian Pat Cunningham DFM to record the experiences of ten men who volunteered to risk their lives on air operations, for some time Britain’s only effective method of striking back. These young men came from disparate backgrounds but, having qualified in their specialist categories, were skillfully merged as interdependent crew members. A staggering 8,305 of the 55,573 men killed in RAF Bomber Command alone died in accidents, showing that enemy action was only one of the hazards aircrews faced. Others included technical malfunctions, notwithstanding that each had implicit faith in their supporting ground personnel. The constant pressure to get aircrews operational saw many completing the required thirty bombing sorties with less than 500 hours’ experience. Even so they were required to navigate over hostile, blacked-out terrain, in uncertain weather, and with few radio aids, in machines packed with highly volatile substances. Hardly surprising then that fear was a concomitant of the job. ‘I was scared throughout every single operation,’ says one, ‘and if any operational aircrew member says different I’d say they were either liars, or that age has mellowed their memories.’ Bomber Command experiences over Central Europe, feature largely, but also included are maritime operations, to furnish the all-important meteorological reports; two-crew airborne-interception-radar sorties; virtual suicide attacks by outmoded torpedo bombers against enemy capital ships; operations in support of the Chindits’ Long Range Penetration Force in Burma and German-POW incarceration that culminated with a three-month death march ahead of the advancing Soviets. The crew is the essential element throughout, yet as the narratives show, not all gelled seamlessly. Surprisingly, however, individual traits actually strengthened the bond and gave every aircrew its special quality.Praise for The Fear in the Sky “An assembly of ten autobiographical accounts by Bomber Command aircrew retelling of their experiences, and very hairy many of them are. There are many personal touches, drawn from their first forays in uniform right up to the end of their tour of duty sometimes in a German POW camp. The stories make a lively read.” —The Bulletin
