Produktinformationen zu „Collateral Damage “
Collateral Damage is a history of America's attempt to reconcile the atrocity of modern warfare with the idea that killing innocent civilians is off-limits and not justified to win a war. Conway-Lanz considers both policy-makers' responses to the issues as well as the American public's perceptions of war violence against civilians, starting after WWII, for the most complete examination of modern American discourse on the topic.
Klappentext zu „Collateral Damage “
"Collateral damage" is a military term for the inadvertent casualties and destruction inflicted on civilians in the course of military operations. In Collateral Damage: Americans, Noncombatant Immunity, and Atrocity after World War II , Sahr Conway-Lanz chronicles the history of America's attempt to reconcile the ideal of sparing civilians with the reality that modern warfare results in the killing of innocent people. Drawing on policymakers' response to the issues raised by the atrocities of World War II and the use of the atomic bomb, as well as the ongoing debate by the American public and the media as the Korean War developed, Conway-Lanz provides a comprehensive examination of modern American discourse on the topic of civilian casualties and provides a fascinating look at the development of what is now commonly known as collateral damage.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Collateral Damage “
