This isn't a bad book, it just seems to be missing a few things. Overall, it does a good job of first describing the events that took place in Dresden in Februarty, 1945, and then of secondly looking at the ways people remember the firebombing of Dresden. Taylor does a reasonable enough job of debunking the myths surounding both the event (that Allied planes actively attacked civilians with machine-guns) and the city (that it had no industry, and was essentially a militarily useless open-city). My main critiques: The writing style seemed both rushed and somewhat contrived. Too many fragments. Like this. Very distracting. There were a few instances of typos and other editing mistakes. Historiographically, there is a major gap in the discussion of David Irving. Taylor calls Irving a historian, but never once mentions the fact that he's a proven holocaust denier who uses the raid on Dresden to establish a moral equivalence between the Nazis and the Allies. This isn't something that you can gloss over when mentioning that Irving's body-counts for the event are orders of magnitude beyond official reckonings. Taylor does problematize the East German reception of the events, but does not do the same thorough job when it comes to David Irving. I would have liked more complete footnotes. I liked how the narrative moved between British/American and German points-of-view. There were a few questions that stil feel could be interesting in discussing Dresden. Would anyone feel different if Dresden had had better air defence? Are we partly worried that it wasn't a fair fight? Would the Allies have felt less guilt if they had lost some significant number of bombers? Taylor mentions at one point that Dresdeners were getting their just desserts for burning the synagogue in town, but not once does Taylor mention the other horrific crimes of the regime. I kept thinking to myself that on an individual level, I felt compassion and pity for Dresdeners, but on a larger scale, part of me feels that this action is a simple form of payback for what the German nation inflicted on the rest of Europe.

Another great by Anne Stuart. Loved the Middle Ages setting. Great anti-hero, even a great villain--easy to hate! A keeper!
