Description
Dresden: The Fire and the Darkness by Sinclair McKay is a powerful and moving account of one of the most devastating events in World War II history. In February 1945, the Allies launched a massive bombing campaign against Dresden, killing an estimated 25,000 people. The book takes readers on a minute-by-minute journey through the city's final hours, from the first flares to the flames reaching almost a mile high. McKay draws on never-before-seen sources to reveal the untold stories of civilians caught in the midst of war, including a Jewish woman who believed the English bombs were sent from heaven and a 15-year-old boy who was killed while ushering refugees. Through its vivid human detail and meticulous research, Dresden: The Fire and the Darkness brings the city's history to life, shedding new light on one of the most infamous events of the war.
