This is the fourth and final instalment in my many series about curtis lemay. Lema didn't get tried as a war criminal. He got promoted. I kept expecting the story to come to some kind of appropriate resolution, and it didn't. If you kill half a million civilians, something should happen, shouldn't it? And then in the middle of everything, i decided to visit a little private museum off a side street,. The only museum in the world dedicated entirely to the bombing campaign that burned tokio in 19 forty five. There's a long scrawl on the wall, beautiful japanese caligraphy that broke my heart.
