Confused Readers Are Buying Wrong ‘Fire and Fury’

January 10, 2018 · 3:34 pm ET · Leave a Comment

New York Post: “Confused readers are buying a military book in droves all because it has a title similar to Michael Wolff’s bombshell Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, according to a new report.”

Said Randall Hanson, the author of Fire and Fury: The Allied Bombing of Germany, 1942-1945: “It amused me and part of me thought, can people really be that dumb to be confusing these books?”

“The Canadian political science professor at the University of Toronto never imagined his book — exploring civilian perspectives on the Allied bombing of Germany during WWII — would make it to Amazon’s bestseller list ten years after he wrote it.”
