The Bombing War: Europe, 1939-1945

Richard Overy, 2014

Overview

This book offers a comprehensive history of aerial bombing during World War II in Europe. It explores how the widespread use of bombers against civilian populations challenged the notion of a purely moral war. For Britain, aerial bombardment became a primary contribution to the conflict, with brave airmen targeting cities across occupied Europe. The work re-evaluates understanding of the war by examining bombing campaigns on multiple fronts, including German actions on the Eastern Front and Allied attacks on Italian cities.
