This is the first book to treat bombing during WWII as a European
phenomenon and not just the 'Blitz' on Britain and Germany. With
Western Europe now at the heart of a united continent, it is even
more difficult to explain how only 70 years ago European states
destroyed much of the urban landscape from the air. There were many
blitzes between 1940 and 1945 with an estimated 700,000 people
killed. The purpose of this book is to provide the basis for a
comparison of the experience of western states under the impact of
bombing. In particular, it considers the political, cultural and
social responses to bombing rather than the military, strategic and
social dimensions which have formed the core of the discussion
hitherto. This book will correct the popular perception of the
British Blitz as the key bombing experience by exposing the reality
of life under the bombs for communities as far apart as Brest,
Palermo, and Rostock. An international panel of historians consider
the issues raised amidst the bombing of human rights and protection
of civilians in this seminal event in C20th history.
