CLIOPATRIA: A Group Blog
The Fire
The phenomenon of publishers sending unsolicited review copies to history bloggers has reached the Second World War. At the end of last year, several of us received copies of Jorg Friedrich's book The Fire, about the Allied bombing of Germany, from Columbia.
Receiving books for review poses some potential ethical problems for the blogger. One way to keep us honest (and to make full use of the medium) is to rely on the collaborative power of the web. Brett Holman, (of Airminded and Revise and Dissent) and I have written a joint review, in the form of a conversation. It's up now at Trench Fever and Airminded. Let us know what you think, both of the review and of the approach.
