Record of Skyfire and Burning Demons: a Photo Album of the US Military's Strategic Bombing of Japan

This manuscript includes more than 200 large-scale real-life pictures taken during the strategic bombing of Japan by the US military from 1942 to 1945. Through the form of real historical images, it systematically and intuitively shows how Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama and other prosperous places in Japan in the past were bombed into ruins. While giving readers a visual impact, it clearly shows the specific process of strategic bombing that greatly destroyed Japan's war potential. This book is centered around relevant pictures and is equipped with a more systematic and concise background text introduction, which facilitates readers to deepen their understanding of the content of the pictures and thus more comprehensively understand the significance of the strategic bombing of Japan in the final defeat of Japanese fascism.
