There’s a very good account of the Bataan Death March in John Toland’s “The Rising Sun.” Even though Toland sought to write the book from the Japanese point of view (Toland’s wife was Japanese), he didn’t gloss over the horrors of the Death March. His account made my blood boil, so much so that when he got to the equally graphic account of the firebombing of Tokyo in March 1945, my only thought was “Good.”

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

The combination of less sophisticated sight technology, night bombing and cloudy winter weather has basically made the British bombing of German cities indiscriminate. The attitude of the British public seems to be the same. Good.

Lots of people in the Pacific theater would agree given the brutal occupations by the Japanese, the Rape of Nanking, Burma railway, etc.
