World War II is enshrined in our collective memory as the good war
- a victory of good over evil. However, the bombing war has always
troubled this narrative as total war transformed civilians into
legitimate targets and raised unsettling questions such as whether
it was possible for Allies and Axis alike to be victims of
aggression. In Bombing the City, an unprecedented comparative
history of how ordinary Britons and Japanese experienced bombing,
Aaron William Moore offers a major new contribution to these
debates. Utilising hundreds of diaries, letters, and memoirs, he
recovers the voices of ordinary people on both sides - from
builders, doctors and factory-workers to housewives, students and
policemen - and reveals the shared experiences shaped by gender,
class, race, and age. He reveals how it was that the British and
Japanese public continued to support bombing elsewhere even as they
experienced firsthand its terrible impact at home.
