On the night of 13 February 1945, the unthinkable happened: British bomber units launched a devastating attack on the historic centre of Dresden. The "Florence on the Elbe" was razed to the ground in a massive firestorm, at least 25,000 people were killed, buried, burned or suffocated. A war crime? Or a legitimate goal to bring Germany to its knees once and for all? Frederick Taylor's newly researched history of the rise and fall of Dresden subjects widespread legends and preconceived notions to critical scrutiny.
