About the Book

The shocking account of an unrelenting Allied bombing campaign that destroyed a city In the last days of July 1943, British and American planes dropped 9,000 tons of bombs with the intention of erasing the German city from the map. The resultant firestorm burned for a month and left 40,000 civilians dead. Inferno is a searing account of terrifying destruction- of how and why the Allies dropped a hail of high-explosive and incendiary bombs; of blizzards of sparks, hurricane-force winds and 800-degree temperatures; of survivors cowering in basements or struggling along melting streets; of a city and its people near annihilated from above. Inferno is an epic story of human devastation and survival against impossible odds.

Review :
A real triumph: shocking, yet sensitive and supremely fair-minded. This is a wonderful book about hellish events. The story of that hellish summer night is one Lowe tells well, unbliningly, exactly as he should...a tour de force Compelling, startling and gripping. The definitive account of a great tragedy Admirable, impeccably researched and engagingly written...deserves its place on the shelves Brilliantly researched. Lowe has produced many new first-hand accounts which give a human face to a tale of epic destruction Scrupulous...sensitive to all the paradoxes of the bombing war Exemplary Altogether a terrific book and work of research Well written, meticulously researched...gripping and holds the attention effortlessly - Keith Lowe says he found it a compelling subject on which to write, I found it compelling to read Balanced, thoughtful, engaging...Inferno is well researched and well written. Admirably balances the testimony of the bombers and the bombed
