Item description from seller

This is NOT an ex-library book, not a remainder, and not corner-clipped (retains the original 1987 cover price on front jacket flap). First Printing is indicated by the full number line on the copyright page. A very good, clean, bright, tight copy. 248 pages, includes index, photo-illustrated. "The Night Tokyo Burned is a historical account of one of World War II's most devastating air raids: the firebombing of Tokyo on March 10, 1945. Written by Japanese author Hoito Edoin, the book provides a detailed narrative of this catastrophic night, often considered the deadliest single air raid in human history. The book chronicles the American bombing campaign against Tokyo, which culminated in the massive firestorm attack of March 10. On that night, approximately 300 B-29 Superfortress bombers dropped over 1,600 tons of incendiary devices on the densely populated city. The firestorm that resulted proved far more destructive than anticipated, creating a massive conflagration that consumed entire neighborhoods and killed an estimated 100,000 civilians?more than the atomic bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki individually. Edoin's work goes beyond statistics and military strategy to humanize the event, drawing on eyewitness accounts and personal narratives from survivors and those who witnessed the destruction. The book examines both the American military perspective?the strategic bombing campaign designed to break Japanese will and infrastructure?and the Japanese experience of civilians caught in the inferno. It describes the horror of the firestorm, including people seeking shelter in water channels and parks, the suffocating smoke and heat, and the massive loss of life. The narrative places the bombing within the broader context of the Pacific War's final stages, explaining how the U.S. developed its firebombing strategy and why Tokyo was targeted. It also explores the human cost and lasting impact on Japanese society and collective memory. Ultimately, 'The Night Tokyo Burned' stands as a sobering historical examination of aerial warfare, the consequences of strategic bombing on civilian populations, and one of World War II's most tragic nights.".
