Title: Just another apologist for Allied war crimes
Product review: Don't waste your money or your time. Taylor expends a lot of energy attempting to justify the unjustifiable. He lamely attempts to paint the picture of Dresden as a strategic military target while totally overlooking the dire condition not only of German military capabilities but even of the country's elementary infrastructure. The title alone is an indictment of the book. What incredible arrogance on the part of this apologist for Allied war crimes. He would have us believe that on Tuesday, February 13, 1945 Dresden was a serious military threat that required the most barbaric incendiary bombing ever carried out. Quite frankly, anyone who has studied the condition of Germany in 1945 would not be foolish enough to accept the author's premise. If you are interested in reading a worthwhile book on the issue consult The Fire: The Bombing of Germany, 1940-1945 by Jörg Friedrich:The Fire: The Bombing of Germany, 1940-1945.
