Author recounts stories of WW II heroes


Historian and diplomat Robert Dorr gave a lively talk at
George Mason Regional Library Feb. 26 about the firebombing of Tokyo during
World War II and the atomic bombing that brought the war in the Pacific to a close.
He also signed copies of his latest book, Mission to Tokyo: The American Airmen Who Took the War to the Heart of Japan.

Kovacs:

of much of Tokyo was witnessed by none other than Yoko Ono, whom he interviewed
for his book.
