About this product

Product Information

Published to coincide with the bombing, this dramatic and controversial account completely re-examines the Allied attack on Dresden For decades it has been assumed that the Allied bombing of Dresden was militarily unjustifiable, an act of rage and retribution for Germany's ceaseless bombing of London and other parts of England. Now, Frederick Taylor's groundbreaking research offers a completely new examination of the facts, and reveals that Dresden was a highly-militarized city actively involved in the production of military armaments and communications concealed beneath the cultural elegance for which the city was famous. Incorporating first-hand accounts, contemporaneous press material and memoirs, and never-before-seen government records, Taylor documents unequivocally the very real military threat Dresden posed, and thus altering forever our view of that attack.

In narrative power and persuasion, [Taylor] has paralleled in DRESDEN what Antony Beevor achieved in STALINGRAD., Taylor carefully debunks .... the 'pervasive postwar myth' ... What emerges is a picture markedly different from conventional accounts., The enigmatic past and the patient muse of history are brilliantly served ... by this blockbuster of a book., Anyone who thinks that during World War Two Dresden manufactured just chinaware must read this penetrating book., Compelling ... [Taylor] puts the assault in its proper context to reveal the inherent moral tangle of total war., Compelling ... Mr. Taylor makes a persuasive case that Dresden was not an innocent bystander in the tragedy that was WWII., Deeply affecting ... a bracing rebuke to the myths and propaganda that have painted over the memory of this tragedy., Well-researched, objective and compassionate...Frederick Taylor convincingly sets the record straight., Fascinating....a fine, revealing work of revisionist history. He has also given us a deeply haunting human drama.

I want to acknowledge the superb job this seller did in responding to this order and a non-delivery issue. It was immediately resolved in an "above and beyond" fashion that must have cost more to reship than what was tendered in the transaction. Packaging, condition, speed of delivery and communication were all top form here. This is the BEST anyone could ever hope for on eBay and this seller deserves my highest five-star endorsement rating for the outstanding effort made. Many thanks !

  • Good book, not so good purchase.

    I didn't realize this was an uncorrected PROOF of the book and that all photo's were missing. Front cover also says Not for sale. The writing is excellent but i was not pleased to find that it was not a complete copy.
