Kevin Hall shows that crimes against American airmen were not only conditioned by the vicissitudes of the war but by the xenophobic racism of the Nazi and Japanese governments. He proves that warfare is indeed a bad taste business, and never more so than when a barbarous regime knows it is losing. Through seldom-consulted sources, Hall tells the stories of the Allied flyers in detailed and macabre technicolor. Abundant photographs throughout the book help restore humanity to the forgotten victims. At the end, the reader sees that these were very young men not far removed from their high school prom. They were scarcely out of boyhood when their lives were so senselessly and callously taken from them. Hall has written a poignant book that breaks the heart.---Michael Bryant, Professor of History and Legal Studies at Bryant University, and author of A World History of War Crimes: From Antiquity to the Present
