When I called the Linz raid the last great bombing raid, I should have added "in the European theater." The war was still ongoing in the Pacific, after all!

Here are a few good titles for Women's History Month: Valiant Women: The Extraordinary American Servicewomen Who Helped Win World War II, We Band of Angles, and The Secret Rescue. I've included in my books on the Pacific interviews with Army and Navy women POWs. I included the women voluntary spies who were caught and tortured in the Pacific and interviewed by Diane Fessler. I did interview and publish several South Pacific Islanders when I was there several years ago. They were civilian POWs and tortured during the war.

Awesome History. Awesome Book. When I was in Linz, I saw the Hitler sites. I knew it was bombed near the end, but I never knew the history in detail. I just bought the audiobook, which will be released in a few days. Your book on the Kassel Raid was outstanding. It contains lots of critical oral history, which is lacking in most WWII history books. Your contrast between the two raids is very illustrative of the air wars in all WWII theaters. Right on target.
