This podcast discusses the reasoning behind holding adversaries' cities hostage during war times and how it became an important strategy against dropping atomic bombs on cities. The strategy is believed to have given leverage in the form of bargaining by posing a threat to the enemy's cities without destroying them, and thus preventing an all-out war or retaliation where no one wins.
