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

Attribution
A.C. Grayling
Publication Details
Book, 1st U.S. ed, Walker & Co, 2006
Links
- 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.
