Fire and Fury: The Allied Bombing of Germany, 1942-1945(ISBN=9780451230089) pdf snb 115盘 kindle 在线 下载 pmlz mobi

　　During the Second World War, Allied air forces dropped nearly

two million tons of bombs on Germany, destroying some 60 cities,

killing more than half a million German citizens, and leaving

80,000 pilots dead. But the terrible truth is that much of the

bombing was carried out against the expressed demands of the

Allied military leadership, leading to the needless deaths of

hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Focusing on the crucial period from 1942 to 1945, Fire and

Fury tells the story of the American and British bombing

campaign through the eyes of those involved: the military and

civilian command in America, Britain, and Germany, the aircrews in

the skies who carried out their orders, and civilians on the ground

who felt the fury of the Allied attacks. Here, for the first time,

the story of the American and British air campaigns is told-and the

cost accounted for...
