The vivid account of a war correspondent shot down over Germany and taken prisoner.

Bennett was one of several journalists to fly a night raid over Berlin in November 1943. This is the vivid testimony of an American journalist shot down over Berlin. After he was captured in Berlin, he was taken on a tour of Germany and shown what the civilian population was being subjected to. Bennett spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft I, where he started the newspaper POW WOW, secretly read by 9,000 prisoners. Bennett's experiences led him to condemn the Allied policy of systematically bombing civilian population centers.

I really enjoyed this - although I must say I started to wonder at one point if I had picked up some anti-Allied book for a bit, but the rest of the book makes it clear it’s not the case and the author was giving his opinion, not spewing talking points. But overall his story is remarkable and well told. I own hundreds of WW2 books and I’d put this in the top tier of personal accounts, even if there is no combat.

The narration fit the book perfectly.

Excellent book - amazing story
