It may have cost 40,000 lives, but the US firebombing of the central Chinese city of Wuhan in December 1944 is one of the least known chapters of World War 2. Here is a rare account of this tragic event, by Stephen R. MacKinnon, history professor at Arizona State University and author of the book Wuhan 1938. The account is part of a paper which Dr. MacKinnon delivered in early September at an international conference in Chongqing on the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2 in Asia, and it is brought here with his kind permission. This is the first of a two-part series..
