Chi accetterebbe mai di ospitare per diciotto anni nel giardino di casa propria una anziana barbona e il furgone debordante di rifiuti che ne costituisce il domicilio? Oltretutto Miss Shepherd non è una vecchina che susciti tenerezza: è grande e grossa, scontrosa, bislacca, poco incline alla gratitudine. Porta una sottana fatta di stracci per la polvere, occhiali da sole verdi e, a mo’ di cappello, un cestino di paglia ottagonale. Si fa scarrozzare per la città su una sedia a rotelle ed emana un insopportabile fetore. Chi mai accetterebbe una così perturbante prossimità?

Bennett was one of several journalists to fly a night raid over Berlin in November 1943. This is the vivid testimony of an American journalist shot down over Berlin.

Bennett spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft I, where he started the newspaper POW WOW, secretly read by 9,000 prisoners. Bennett's experiences led him to condemn the Allied policy of systematically bombing civilian population centers.
