Among The Dead Cities : The History And Moral Legacy Of The WWII Bombing Of Civilians In Germany And Japan

Attribution
A.C. Grayling

Book, 1st U.S. ed, Walker & Co, 2006

- Publisher description
Description
When Nuremberg was scouted in 1945 as a possible site for the Nazi war crime trials, an American damage survey of Germany described it as being ?among the dead cities? Arguing persuasively that the victor nations have never had to consider the morality of their policies during World War II, he offers a powerful, moral re-examination of the Allied bombing campaigns against civilians in Germany and Japan, in the light of principles enshrined in the post-war conventions on human rights and the laws of war. Addressing one of today?s key moral issues, Among the Dead Cities is both a dramatic retelling of the World War II saga, and vitally important reading for our time.

The Fallen : A True Story Of American POWs And Japanese Wartime Atrocities

Attribution
Marc Landas
Publication Details
Book, Wiley, 2004
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Almost sixty years after the fact, revisionists continue to deny these horrors, but The Fallen provides indisputable evidence that Japan had indeed subjected American POWs to live medical experiments?such as mutilating their organs, draining their blood, and pumping seawater into their veins. Landas?s meticulous and imaginative detective work reconstructs a long-buried investigation that implicates not just a few rogue soldiers but Japanese scientists, professors, and politicians, abetted by an American cover-up at the highest levels.

The Dream Of Civilized Warfare : World War I Flying Aces And The American Imagination

Attribution
Linda R. Robertson
Publication Details
Book, University of Minnesota Press, 2003
Description
The equally fascinating story of World War I air combat is often relegated to a footnote, but it was the earlier war that first inspired the vision of the United States attaining dominance in world affairs through a massive air force. Examining aviation history, military battles, films, literature, and political events, she looks at how the American public’s imagination was shaped-how flying aces offered not only a symbol of warfare in stark contrast to the muddy, brutal world of the trenches, but also a distraction to an American public resistant to both intervention in a European conflict and the new practice of conscription.
