Comments from the first page of the book: "On the nights of February 13-14, 1945, a mighty armada of British Lancaster heavy bombers dropped 650,000 incendiary bombs on the city of Dresden, creating a firestorm that could be seen for 200 miles.For seven days and nights the city burned, and in the holocaust 135,000 died. It was the greatest single massacre in human history--and the most terrifying demonstration of air power in all of World War II." The choice of February 13 and 14 for the vicious mass killings of civilians was deliberate. February 14 was Ash Wednesday in the Christian calendar of 1945, and coincidentally Valentine's Day. The bodies of 135,000 living human beings were reduced to ashes. Most of those burned alive in the attack were women and children. Size: 4.25 x 7. Allied Atrocities and Genocide.

DJ has wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. The Destruction of Dresden is a 1963 book by British author, in which he describes the February 1945 Allied bombing of Dresden in World War II. The book, having long being praised and held in high esteem, became an international bestseller during the 1960s debate about the morality of the World War II area bombing of the civilian population of Nazi Germany. Derived from a Kirkus review: This account, which is handled with understatement, is nearly as decimating as its subject which is horror- fleshly horror and the genocide which follows in the wake of war. Dresden was bombed as a terroristic action and 135,000 people died. The author claims this as the single most inhumane act of the war, and only the extermination of the Jews was more dreadful quantitatively. For those who will not flinch from the facts presented here- it is an important record, both as a reminder of the past and a warning for the future. David John Cawdell Irving (born 24 March 1938) is an English author who has written on the military and political history of World War II, especially Nazi Germany. Irving's works include The Destruction of Dresden (1963), Hitler's War (1977), Churchill's War (1987) and Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich (1996). He was recognized for his knowledge of Nazi Germany and his ability to unearth new historical documents, which he held closely but stated were fully supportive of his conclusions. His 1964 book The Mare's Nest about Germany's V-weapons campaign of 1944-45 was praised for its deep research. After serving in 1959 as editor of the University of London Carnival Committee's journal, Irving left for West Germany, where he worked as a steelworker in a Thyssen AG steel works in the Ruhr area and learned the German language. He then moved to Spain, where he worked as a clerk at an air base. By 1962, Irving was engaged to write a series of 37 articles on the Allied bombing campaign, Und Deutschlands Städte starben nicht ("And Germany's Cities Did Not Die"), for the German boulevard journal Neue Illustrierte. These were the basis for his first book, The Destruction of Dresden (1963), in which he examined the Allied bombing of Dresden in February 1945. By the 1960s, a debate about the morality of the carpet bombing of German cities and civilian population had already begun, especially in the United Kingdom. There was consequently considerable interest in Irving's book, which was illustrated with graphic pictures, and it became an international bestseller. In the first edition, Irving's estimates for deaths in Dresden were between 100,000 and 250,000 - notably higher than most previously published figures. These figures became widely accepted in many standard reference works. First U. S. Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
