Plot Summary of Dresden: Tuesday February 13, 1945
"Frederick Taylor re-examines the events leading up to the notorious fire bombing of Dresden during WWII and demonstrates that despite enormous destruction especially of the old city, many of the previous accounts of the allied attack exaggerated the numbers killed and embroidered the facts. The book includes a history of the city and many first hand accounts from people who went through the actual bombing."
Jack Goodstein, Resident Scholar
