The Destruction Of Dresden (1963) By David Irving
The Destruction of Dresden is a 1963 non-fiction book that describes the February 1945 bombing of Dresden in World War II. The book is based on a series of 37 articles written on the strategic bombing during World War II by David Irving called Wie Deutschlands Städte starben (English: How Germany's Cities Died) for the German journal Neue Illustrierte. The book became an international bestseller during the 1960s debate about the morality of the World War II area bombing of the Nazi Germany civilian population.
Introduction by Lt. General Ira C. Eaker, USAF (Ret.). Eaker was the First U. S. Army Air Corps Bomber Commander in Europe and rose to command the Eighth Air Force from October 1942 to January 1944. Foreword by Air Marshal Sir Robert Saundby. This is an early work, increasingly scarce, by an author who has since become a controversial figure in terms of the Holocaust and the Second World War in general.
