There are long sections on the Baedeker raids and the retaliatory strikes; on the destruction of Warsaw; on the eradication of Armenian and Greek culture in Turkey and Northern Cyprus; on the miserable events of the 1990s in the former Yugoslavian states; on the wastelands created either side of military barriers; and of course on the major sources of conflict in the Middle East from Ur to Nablus.
