This is a debate question.

The first section of your essay will summarise and explain the main arguments FOR saturation bombing.
Most of these were made at the time.

The second section will summarise and explain the main arguments AGAINST saturation bombing.
Most of these were made after the time and, especially, recently.

Then finish with a conclusion which weighs the two side and decides on a solution to the apparent dichotomy.

The argument itself is a fairly mainline debatewhich has even made it into the newspapers, so you should find it easy enough to research the information for the two sides of the argument.
