"Inspired by a conference held to mark the opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, The Bombing of Auschwitz: Should the Allies Have Attempted It? brings together the key contributions to this debate, with new and original articles by eminent historians of World War II and the Holocaust, and a selection of the most important documents and aerial reconnaissance photos from 1944.". "Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and jointly edited by an aerospace historian and a historian of the Holocaust, this book provides a balanced and comprehensive guide to these and other questions, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. Stimulating and easy to read, this book will become an invaluable reference source for general readers, scholars, and students alike."--BOOK JACKET.
