PRAISE
FOR FREDERICK TAYLOR’S

DRESDEN

“A masterpiece of scholarship and evenhanded reporting not unlike John Hersey’s Hiroshima.”

—
Chicago Sun-Times

“Taylor carefully debunks…the ‘pervasive postwar myth’ that the city contributed little to the war.”

—
New York Times Book Review

“Passionately written and deeply aff ecting,
Dresden
is a bracing rebuke to the myths and propaganda that have painted over the memory of this tragedy.”

—
People

“There is a good chance that Frederick Taylor’s
Dresden: Tuesday, February 13, 1945
will prove to be…the last word on a subject of bitter contention for more than half a century.”

—
The Guardian

“A fine, revealing work of revisionist history…[and] a deeply haunting human drama.”

—
Houston Chronicle

“Compelling…. [Taylor] puts the assault in its proper context to reveal the inherent moral tangle of total war.”

—
The Atlantic Monthly

“A riveting narrative account…. Only histories like Taylor’s, which encompasses both the raw human suff ering of Dresden’s people and the incontrovertible political facts about the city and nation they inhabited, can do it justice.”

—Salon.com

“A major contribution to the story of Dresden.”

—
Christian Science Monitor
