A great read, great history of the city itself before and after the war.
The book buries many myths about the bombing, especially the death toll, while an enormous loss of life, its wasn't extraordinary.
Dresden was not some idyllic city with no involvement in the war. It was an integral transport hub and this was one of the reasons it was targeted. Whether the second & thirds waves should have taken place, historians will argue about that until the end of time.
A fantastic book.
