{"product_id":"terror-from-the-sky-igor-primoratz-9781782386711","title":"Terror from the Sky: The Bombing of German Cities in World War II","description":"\u003cp\u003e In this first interdisciplinary study of this contentious subject, leading experts in politics, history, and philosophy examine the complex aspects of the terror bombing of German cities during World War II. The contributors address the decision to embark on the bombing campaign, the moral issues raised by the bombing, and the main stages of the campaign and its effects on German civilians as well as on Germany's war effort. The book places the bombing campaign within the context of the history of air warfare, presenting the bombing as the first stage of the particular type of state terrorism that led to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and brought about the Cold War era \"balance of terror.\" In doing so, it makes an important contribution to current debates about terrorism. It also analyzes the public debate in Germany about the historical, moral, and political significance of the deliberate killing of up to 600,000 German civilians by the British and American air forces. This pioneering collaboration provides a platform for a wide range of views-some of which are controversial-on a highly topical, painful, and morally challenging subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Igor Primoratz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782386718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782386711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Igor Primoratz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125364814079,"sku":"9781782386711","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b17aeb3-a4dd-4663-b5d0-13a4aea8b321.jpg?v=1687442198","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/terror-from-the-sky-igor-primoratz-9781782386711","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
