"In Among the Dead Cities, the acclaimed philosopher A. C. Grayling asks the provocative question, how would the Allies have fared if judged by the standards of the Nuremberg trials? Arguing persuasively that the victor nations have never had to consider the morality of their policies during World War II, he offers a powerful reexamination of the Allied bombing campaigns against civilians in Germany and Japan, in light of principles enshrined in the postwar conventions on human rights and the laws of war." "Rarely is the victor's history re-examined, and A. C. Grayling does so with deep respect and with a sense of urgency "to get a proper understanding for how peoples and states can and should behave in times of conflict." Among the Dead Cities is both a dramatic retelling of the World War II saga, and vitally important reading for our time."--BOOK JACKET.
