DRESDEN: TUESDAY 13 FEBRUARY 1945
Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. 1st. 2004
Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. At 9.51 p.m. on Tuesday 13 February 1945, Dresden's air-raid sirens sounded as they had done many times during the Second World War. But this time was different. By the next morning, more than 4,500 tons of high explosives and incendiary devices had been dropped on the unprotected city... This book is a serious reappraisal of an event that lives in the popular memory with Guernica and Hiroshima as a by-word for the horror of twentieth-century air warfare. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. xvi and maps and 518 pages including index.
Boards clean, text block grubby. Occasional foxspot to contents. White pictorial dustwrapper is lightly sunned to spine.
