Dangerous Book?
Reader comment on: War Games

Submitted by Robert Birnbaum, Mar 14, 2008 10:21

I know something about WW II and I take Human Smoke seriously . I am certain that I will not take seriously a screed of such vehement belligerence that labels Human Smoke "dangerous" — at the least a categorical error and certainly bad style...though I am curious to know what other books are on Mr Kirsch's dangerous list.
