Produktbeschreibung

Taking the example of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima as a case in point, Francis Winters analyzes the ethics of warfare, demonstrating how the examples of World War II hold relevance to the contemporary world. Unique in concept and approach, the volume links events from WWII with the modern-day war on terror and the impact of the September 11, 2001 assaults on America.
