Keith Lowe, whose novels TUNNEL VISION and NEW FREE CHOCOLATE SEX have won him many fans worldwide has written the most wonderful non-fiction book - INFERNO - about the horrific Allied bombings of Hamburg in july 1943. It is published in the
UK by Viking Penguin now and in the US by Simon and Schuster later this year. Dominic Sandbrook in The Daily Telegraph called it a ‘thoroughly engaging and sobering book’ and Paul Callan in the Daily Express said: “If anyone still believes that war is a glamorous business, they should read this brilliantly researched book. The author has produced many new first-hand accounts which give a human face to a tale of epic destruction.”
