Siege of Strasbourg

The Siege of Strasbourg makes clear that the events of August - September 1870 foreshadowed developments of 1914-18 and 1939-45: civilians, including women and children, became targets and victims of war; bombardment destroyed lives and urban infrastructure; and humanitarian impulses moved outsiders to intervene on behalf of those most grievously assailed by the instruments of modern warfare.

Klappentext
For six terror-filled weeks in 1870 German armies bombarded Strasbourg, killing hundreds of citizens, wounding thousands, and destroying landmarks. Rachel Chrastil tells how the city became the epicenter of a new kind of warfare whose indiscriminate violence shocked contemporaries and led to debates over the wartime protection of civilians.
