The ultimate history of the Blitz & bombing in the Second World War from Wolfson Prize-winning historian & author Richard Overy The use of massive fleets of bombers to kill & terrorize civilians was an aspect of the Second World War which continues to challenge the idea that Allies specifically fought a 'moral' war For Britain bombing became perhaps its principal contribution to the fighting as night after night exceptionally brave men flew over occupied Europe destroying its cities The Bombing War radically overhauls our understanding of the War It is the first book to examine seriously not just the most well-known parts of the campaign but the significance of bombing on many other fronts
- the German use of bombers on the Eastern Front for example (as well as much newly discovered material on the more familiar ' Blitz' on Britain) or the Allied campaigns against Italian cities The result is the author's masterpiece
- a rich gripping picture of the Second World War & the terrible military technological & ethical issues that relentlessly drove all its participants into an abyss
