Mass killing and terrorism were the sole objectives of the horrific World War II air attack on Dresden, which British diplomat and author Harold Nicolson called "the single greatest h0Ɩ0cαųst by war." On February 13-14, 1945, some 2,000 British and American bombers took part in the devastating raid on an undefended city packed with women and children fleeing advancing Soviet forces. One of Europe's great cultural and architectural treasures, this beautiful German city had no importance as a military target. Here is the full story -- from the perspectives of both perpetrators and victims -- of the horrific firestorm raid that took the lives of tens of thousands of civilians, who were burned alive, suffocated or succuмbed to poisonous fumes. Hardcover book, with dust jacket, photos, maps, source and reference notes, and index. |
