Description
Quando i primi aeroplani si librarono in volo al cospetto di folle inneggianti al progresso, minoranze illuminate cominciarono a interrogarsi sulle future conseguenze militari della conquista dei cieli. Da allora l'arma aerea ha conosciuto un lungo ed incessante sviluppo, potenziando in modo esponenziale le proprie capacità distruttive. La presente ricerca ripercorre lo snodarsi della "questione aerea" dai primi pionieristici voli di guerra fino a Hiroshima e Nagasaki. In particolare, la trattazione si sofferma sul dibattito teorico che investì il ruolo dei bombardieri nel decidere l'esito dei conflitti; sul confronto che coinvolse giuristi e diplomatici per realizzare forme di disarmo aeronautico e regolamentare la guerra aerea; sull'adozione di provvedimenti per proteggere la popolazione civile da attacchi aerei terroristici. Approfondimenti sono riservati alla Francia e all'Inghilterra, i due grandi paesi democratici dove si svolse un lungo e appassionante dibattito sulle implicazioni della guerra aerea.
