Descriptive and Thought-Provoking

This book tells of the July 1943 bombing of Hamburg, Germany. Many graphic details are provided. For instance, did you know that the firestorm is a type of artificial cyclone. Its inrushing winds are so forceful that trees can be uprooted.

Vividly describes the horor of a fire storm bombing.

Althought somewhat technical it sure makes one feel sorry for those caught on the ground and even question the decision to firebomb cities.
