Alright /his/, could anybody give me a good book recommendation for a biography of Sir Arthur "Anne Frank gets the gas? Frankfurt gets the blast." Harris? In all seriousness, I've been looking to read more about him.

It's not a biography of Harris, but I would recommend Bomber Command by Max Hastings, which goes into the inns and outs of British strategic bombing thought and how things were working over at the HQ, which necessarily has a lot to do with Harris.

found these OP
Saward, Dudley. Bomber Harris. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1985.
>This is an authorized biography of Arthur Harris by a member of Harris’s staff, and it cover Harris’s role in making and executing decisions.
Smith, Malcolm. British Air Strategy between the Wars. Oxford: Clarendon, 1984.
>Smith outlines the debates and progress of British air strategy in the interwar period, and incorporates works from Trenchard—commander of the Independent Bombing Force in World War I and later chief of the Air Staff—John Slessor, Arthur Tedder, and Arthur Harris. Each of these British RAF leaders was consistent in the theories of strategic bombing, and all tried to implement the ideas in prewar exercises and in war in World War II.
Harris, Arthur. Bomber Offensive. Barnsley, UK: Leo Cooper, 2005.
>This reprint of Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris’s memoirs chronicles his role as the commander of the RAF’s Bomber Command. While he is still a questionable figure for his part in the destruction of German cities and area bombing at night, this book offers his argument for his actions.
