On the Natural History of Destruction (Modern Library Classics (Paperback))

During World War Two, 131 German cities and towns were targeted by Allied bombs, a good number almost entirely flattened. Six hundred thousand German civilians diedâ€”a figure twice that of all American war casualties. Seven and a half million Germans were left homeless. Given the astonishing scope of the devastation, W. G. Sebald asks, why does the subject occupy so little space in Germanyâ€™s cultural memory? On the Natural History of Destruction probes deeply into this ominous silence.
