Coventry
On the night of 14/15 November 1940, the Luftwaffe launched a massive bombing raid against Coventry, one of the most devastating to hit Britain during the entire war. It was a turning point, representing a new kind of air warfare, one which sacrificed immediate military goals and instead focused on attacking all aspects of city life: a blueprint for obliteration. Churchills government exploited the raid to tip American opinion in favour of Britain. Frederick Taylor tells the story of this terrible, extraordinary moment and its consequences, and looks at whether the fate of Coventry really could provide justification for the horror of Dresden, 1945.
