Hardcover. Stated 1st edition hardcover 1992 New Discovery Books. Glossy picture cover--NO DUSTJACKET. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Only light wear. 96pp, Index, B/W photos. Language: English. For ages 9-12. '[C]lear narrative of events interspersed with remembrances from people who experienced World War II...[C]aptures the tone of the experience: for Tokyo, the misguided search for honor by serving Japan in wars of conquest that led to the massive devastation of the area. A very brief history is given, an unfolding of the actual events is presented and made immediate by the personal accounts of survivors and quotations from diaries of young and old who died during the war. Well chosen black-and-white photographs underscore the texts. The grim realities faced by private citizens is a new focus of study of World War II for this age level. '--Barbara Peklo Abrahams, School Library Journal. Keywords: Japanese, military, bombing, evacuation, Allies, Allied.
