"Collateral damage" is a military term for the inadvertent
casualties and destruction inflicted on civilians in the course of
military operations. In Collateral Damage: Americans, Noncombatant
Immunity, and Atrocity after World War II, Sahr Conway-Lanz
chronicles the history of America's attempt to reconcile the ideal
of sparing civilians with the reality that modern warfare results
in the killing of innocent people. Drawing on policymakers'
response to the issues raised by the atrocities of World War II and
the use of the atomic bomb, as well as the ongoing debate by the
American public and the media as the Korean War developed,
Conway-Lanz provides a comprehensive examination of modern American
discourse on the topic of civilian casualties and provides a
fascinating look at the development of what is now commonly known
as collateral damage.
