The Bombing War: Europe 1939‑1945 by Richard Overy – review | Books | The Guardian
Between the wars, Richard Overy tells us, European city dwellers were terrified at the prospect of being bombed. Alarmists predicted millions of dead in London in a single, devastating attack. The city would be entirely destroyed by explosive and incendiary bombs, and its population annihilated by poison gas dropped from the air. Civilisation would come to an end. In 1908, HG Wells, in his book Th

The Dark Side of Liberation (Published 2013)
The soldiers who landed in Normandy on D-Day were greeted as liberators, but by the time American G.I.’s were headed back home in late 1945, many French citizens viewed them in a very different light.
