Krátky popis
Seven minutes past midnight on 9 March 1945, nearly 300 American
B-29s thundered into the skies over Tokyo. Their payloads of
incendiaries ignited a more than 1,800-degree firestorm that
liquefied asphalt and vaporised thousands, sixteen square miles of
the city were flattened and more than 100,000 men, women and
children were killed. Black Snow is the story of this devastating
operation, orchestrated by Major General Curtis LeMay, who famously
remarked: ",If we lose, we'll be tried as war criminals",.James M.
Scott reconstructs in granular detail that horrific night, and
describes the development of the B-29, the capture of the Marianas
for use as airfields and the change in strategy from high-altitude
daylight ",precision", bombing to low-altitude nighttime incendiary
bombing. Most importantly, the raid represented a significant moral
shift for America, marking the first time commanders deliberately
targeted civilians-which helped pave the way for the atomic bombing
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki five months later.
