Altgarten, Germany, June 31, 1943: Midnight falls on a small, quiet town in Germany, bringing with it a British bomber crew on a mission of destruction. Before the sun rises, war will have played a monstrous practical joke on the men, women, and children of Altgarten and on the British fliers in the skies above it. For an unspeakable error is about to be made—an error for which there is no remedy, no solace, and no salvation . . . Bomber is a novel of devastating suspense and consummate human drama—an international bestseller that ranks with Hersey's Hiroshima and Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse V in its powerful condemnation of war.
