For Britain, bombing became perhaps its principal contribution to the fighting as, night after night, exceptionally brave men flew over occupied Europe destroying its cities.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bombing War\u003c\/i\u003e radically overhauls our understanding of the War. It is the first book to examine seriously not just the most well-known parts of the campaign, but the significance of bombing on many other fronts - the German use of bombers on the Eastern Front for example (as well as much newly discovered material on the more familiar ''Blitz'' on Britain), or the Allied campaigns against Italian cities.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is the author''s masterpiece - a rich, gripping, picture of the Second World War and the terrible military, technological and ethical issues that relentlessly drove all its participants into an abyss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57317247418750,"sku":"NW9780141003214","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780141003214.jpg?v=1778239797","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/bombing-war","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
