Synopsis
From British bombing in Iraq in the early 1920s to the most recent conflicts in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon, detailed analysis explores the history of indescriminate bombing, examining the fundamental questions of how strategies of mass killing orginated and have been employed for decades. The book includes contributions from scholars in the US and Europe as well as bold new argument by Japanese historian Tsuyoshi Hasegawa claiming that Soviet invasion rather than atomic bombing lead to the Japanese surrender of the Pacific.
