This book is focused (but not solely devoted to) the bombing of Wurtzburg. It was similar to the Bombing of Dresden in that it was bombed around the same time, actually bombed after Dresden, largely undefended, limited strategic military value and second (I believe) ONLY to Dresden in the over-all amount of destruction.
This is a fantastic book, it states the facts, gives as little "opinion" as one can find in any history book, which is very refreshing. The book stays on topic, there is no "revisionist rhetoric", nor is there any Stephen Amrose-type "Allies right or wrong" crap, this book seems to tell it like it is...regardless of which side the dirt seems to stick to.
Written by someone that lived through the bombing (19 years old at the time), well researched, plenty of foot notes, overall excellent.
If you are "into" the airwar in Europe, this is for you!

), I love my books and I like the hard back versions when I can afford them at this moment in time. It's normally Birthdays and Christmas presents..bought through the year.
