Overview: The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller
‘Powerful . . . there is rage in his ink. McKay’s book grips by its passion and originality. Some 25,000 people perished in the firestorm that raged through the city. I have never seen it better described’ Max Hastings, Sunday Times
Published for the 75th anniversary
In February 1945 the Allies obliterated Dresden, the ‘Florence of the Elbe’. Bombs weighing over 1,000 lbs fell every seven and a half seconds and an estimated 25,000 people were killed. Was Dresden a legitimate military target or was the bombing a last act of atavistic mass murder in a war already won?
From the history of the city to the attack itself, conveyed in a minute-by-minute account from the first of the flares to the flames reaching almost a mile high – the wind so searingly hot that the lungs of those in its path were instantly scorched – through the eerie period of reconstruction, bestselling author Sinclair McKay creates a vast canvas and brings it alive with touching human detail.
