Friend or foe? : popular perceptions of bombing. 330 $aWith Western Europe now at the heart of a united continent it is ever more difficult to explain how only 70 years ago European states destroyed much of the urban landscape from the air. There were many blitzes between 1940 and 1945 with an estimated 700,000 people killed. The purpose of this book is to provide the basis for a comparison of the experience of western states under the impact of bombing. In particular it considers the political, cultural and social responses to bombing rather than the military, strategic and social dimensions which have formed the core of the discussion hitherto. 606 $aBombings$zEurope, Western$xHistory 606 $aEscapes$zEurope, Western$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAerial operations, British 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xUnderground movements 607 $aEurope, Western$xHistory 615 0$aBombings$xHistory. 615 0$aEscapes$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xAerial operations, British. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xUnderground movements. 676 $a940.54/4941 701 $aBaldoli$b Claudia$0518033 701 $aKnapp$b Andrew$0254476 701 $aOvery$b R$01669962 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806152303321 996 $aBombing, states and peoples in Western Europe, 1940-1945$94031495 997 $aUNINA
