Review by Chris Patsilelis for the Tampa Bay Times:
"[A] gripping, meticulously documented study of a devilish weapon ... Neer vividly makes clear how napalm earned its satanic reputation as an indiscriminate incinerator of children. He reminds us in this thought-provoking and heart-rending book of all those hideous news photos of burned children, and he reintroduces us to the now 50-year-old Kim Phuc, the little South Vietnamese girl so severely scorched by napalm in the iconic 1972 news photograph. 'I suffered so much I wanted to die,' she says to Neer."
