The deaths of others : the fate of civilians in America's wars /

The United States honours its own war dead but pays little attention to the dead of other combatants and even less to the fate of civilians. This book asks why, from strategic bombing in the Second World War to the war in Afghanistan, American public opinion is so closed to the scale of civilian casualties, and what consequences follow from this.
