Among the Dead Cities Was the Allied Bombing of Civilians in WWII a Necessity Or a Crime?
"Among the Dead Cities is both a lucid and revealing work of modern history and an urgent moral investigation. Grayling details the industrial nature of the area bombing in Germany, and also of the US bombing of Japan that culminated in the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He looks at the stands people took, both for and against, and crucially asks what are the lessons that we can learn for today about how people should behave in a world of tension and moral confusion, of terrorism and bitter rivalries." - inside front cover.
