Amazing history of what has turned out to be a much vilified action of the second world war.
Yes, thousands of civilians were killed, yes, perhaps they should have stopped in 1945 but for me the heart of this book is the young men who went up to their deaths every night.
Like much war history you read it and think how the hell did the Allies win such was the incompetence of much if the leadership. But they managed it and it was down to the bravery and sacrifices made by thousands.
This is a very good history and an easy read like all of Hasting's work.
