As survivors of evil grow older, the need to ensure witness intensifies.  Gregg is in his nineties, yet he remains haunted by the sights of the Dresden fire bombing.  In 1944, successive nights of English bombing destroyed the city and the civilian population of Dresden.  Incendiary bombs were then followed by block busters and then fire bombs.  The. Author describes the aftermath in great detail.  He was there as an English POW.  The aftermath is here stipulated in detail.As every monstrosity of war, this had a reason.  Gregg is not a pacifist.  He simply makes the point that extreme acts against civilians need to be outlawed, and our only chance of this is to never forget.  So I recommend this book for the knowledge it imparts and for the imperative that we bear witness.
