Synopsis

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.
