"A book you can read in one sitting." Ernesto Galli della Loggia "The responsibilities of those who chose war, the inhuman methods, the reactions of civilians massacred by the bombs: Marco Patricelli's book offers an animated and engrossing account of war." Aurelio Lepre, Corriere della Sera "The bombs rained down, we could clearly see them pouring out of the bellies of the four-engined aircraft. The end of the world had begun. Explosions everywhere. We could see nothing, only smoke, dust and earth-feel nothing, only our scorched throats, laboured breath and madly beating hearts." A highly absorbing interpretation of a drama unleashed from the skies and lived through on earth.
