About this person

Jörg Friedrich is a German author and historian. Friedrich is best known for his publication The Fire, in which he portrays the Allied bombing of civilian targets during World War II as systematic and in many ways pointless mass murder. An English translation was published in 2006 by Columbia University Press and met with widespread critical approval. For example, the New York Times said it "describes in stark, unrelenting and very literary detail what happened in city after city as the Allies dropped 80 million incendiary bombs on Germany..... There is... an edginess to Friedrich's writing and commentary, an emotional power."
