The Bombing War: Europe 1939-1945

The book is the fruit of more than seven years of research in 33 archives across Europe and the United States, using documents in English, German, French, Dutch, Italian and Russian. The research process was lengthy and complex and the final book, at around 260,000 words, represents a major re-assessment of the bombing war. The book explains the failure of all the major air offensives, and provides important answers to the question of how and why European societies coped with bombing without experiencing social collapse.
