Description
Dresden, February 1945. A city in ruins, its beauty lost to the devastating impact of war. This is the backdrop for Journey's End, the final volume in Kevin Wilson's acclaimed bomber war trilogy. The controversy surrounding the bombing of Dresden has long overshadowed the events of the bomber war, but this book seeks to put it into context as part of a much larger campaign. For those who flew over Germany night after night, there were more pressing concerns: the threat of V2 rockets and new German jet fighters that could strike at speeds of over 600mph. As the conflict reached its brutal endgame, no quarter was given on either side. Journey's End chronicles this period in history, a time of devastation and tragedy on both sides, and provides a nuanced understanding of the events that shaped it.
