Sahr Conway-Lanz, "Collateral Damage: Americans, Noncombatant Immunity, and Atrocity After World War II"
ISBN: 0415978289, 0415978297 | 2006 | EPUB | 296 pages | 2 MB

"Collateral damage" is a military term for the inadvertent casualties and destruction inflicted on civilians in the course of military operations.
