The past century has seen everything from deliberate attacks against rebellious villagers by Italian and British colonial forces in the Middle East to scrupulous efforts to avoid \"collateral damage\" in the counterinsurgency and antiterrorist wars of today. \u003ci\u003eThe American Way of Bombing\u003c\/i\u003e brings together prominent military historians, practitioners, civilian and military legal experts, political scientists, philosophers, and anthropologists to explore the evolution of ethical and legal norms governing air warfare.Focusing primarily on the United States--as the world's preeminent military power and the one most frequently engaged in air warfare, its practice has influenced normative change in this domain, and will continue to do so--the authors address such topics as firebombing of cities during World War II; the atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; the deployment of airpower in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya; and the use of unmanned drones for surveillance and attacks on suspected terrorists in Pakistan, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, and elsewhere.\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Tami Davis Biddle, U.S. Army War College; Sahr Conway-Lanz, Yale University Library; Neta C.
