Small edge tear to front flyleaf Foreword by Marshal of the Royal Air Force The Lord Tedder, G.C.B. Early in 1943, 617 Squadron was formed for just one special job, to smash the Moehne and Eder Dams. After the end of World War II, the head of the Air Historical Branch of the British Air Ministry identified the need for a history of 617 Squadron. John Pudney, an editor at News Review suggested that Brickhill be considered. The history of 617 Squadron and in particular its involvement in Operation Chastise and the destruction of dams in the Ruhr valley was published in 1951 as The Dam Busters. Following the success of The Dam Busters, Robert Clark the head of production at Associated British Picture Corporation approached Brickhill about acquiring the screen rights to the book. He requested that Brickhill provide a condensed film treatment. Brickhill decided to concentrate the film treatment on Operation Chastise, and ignore the later raids. The subsequent film was released in 1954 as The Dam Busters. More

From the Foreword signed by Congressman Bill Chappell and Congressman Jack Kemp: "For several years, John Collins, working as an analyst of national security and defense issues for the Congressional Research Service, has built a respected reputation among those familiar with issues of defense and national security. Based largely on the high regard in which Mr. Collins is held professionally, two years ago we jointly requested that he undertake a comprehensive treatment of the military and strategic balance between our nation's forces and those of the Soviet Union. The final product of John Collin's work, as published between these covers, is a balance sheet. The book is a milestone, as well as the first truly comprehensive look at the subject, in which the author not only examines all facets of the situation but attempts to relate those elements to one another."
