From detailed examinations of contemporary archival document, Nigel Pollard shows that the bomb damage to ancient Pompeii was accidental, and the bombs were aimed at road and rail routes close to the site in an urgent attempt to slow down the reinforcement and supply of German counter- attacks that threatened to defeat the Allied landings in the Gulf of Salerno. The book sets this event, along with other instances of damage and risk to cultural heritage in Italy in the Second World War, in the context of the development of the Allied Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives - the "Monuments Men.""-- |cProvided by publisher. 610 20 Mediterranean Allied Air Forces. |=^A1413183 610 27 Mediterranean Allied Air Forces. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01575027 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Bombing, Aerial |zItaly |zPompeii (Extinct city) |=^A570256 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xDestruction and pillage |zItaly |zPompeii (Extinct city) |=^A86909 650 0 Buildings |xWar damage |zItaly |zPompeii (Extinct city) |=^A812517 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xCampaigns |zItaly. |=^A17717 650 0 Archaeological sites |xProtection. |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Cultural property |xProtection. |=^A129017 650 0 Military policy |xMoral and ethical aspects. |=^A964477 650 7 Buildings |xWar damage. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00841182 650 7 Cultural property |xProtection. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00885019 650 7 Destruction and pillage. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01906941 650 7 Military campaigns. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 Military policy |xMoral and ethical aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01021394 651 7 Italy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204565 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 Italy |zPompeii (Extinct city) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01896973 |?UNAUTHORIZED 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 776 08 |iOnline version:Pollard, Nigel David, 1962- |tBombing Pompeii |dAnn Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 2020 |z9780472127290 |w(DLC) 2020028342 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s54.95 |uJHIS |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 5543918
