- Among the Dead Cities: The History and Moral Legacy of the WWII Bombing of Civilians in Germany and Japan (later released as Among the Dead Cities: Was the Allied Bombing of Civilians in WWII a Necessity or a Crime?) is a 2006 book by British philosopher A. C. Grayling in which he argues that although World War II was a just and necessary war, the area bombing done to defeat Germany was a crime (unlike the American precision bombing or "pinpoint bombing" of industrial and military targets) because it was (1) an intentional attack on non-combatants; (2) unnecessary in defeating Germany; and (3) disproportionate. Responses were divided. (en)
- Die toten Städte. Waren die alliierten Bombenangriffe Kriegsverbrechen? (Originaltitel: Among the Dead Cities: Was the Allied Bombing of Civilians in WWII a Necessity or a Crime?) ist ein Buch des britischen Philosophen A. C. Grayling, welches sich mit den britischen Flächenbombardements (Area-Bombing) auf deutsche und japanische Städte im Zweiten Weltkrieg auseinandersetzt. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob die alliierten Bombenangriffe moralisch zu rechtfertigen sind. Grayling kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Angriffe gegen die Städte und die damit verbundenen Verluste in der Zivilbevölkerung keine Verkürzung des Krieges bewirkten und somit moralisch verwerflich waren. Dabei bemüht er sich, keine Vergleiche zwischen den Methoden des Dritten Reiches und den Alliierten aufkommen zu lassen, sondern erörtert die Grenzen der legitimen Kriegsführung. (de)
