Although my war was Viet Nam, I've always been fascinated by what happened in WWII.  Dresden seems to be a sometimes mentioned occurrence, but prior to reading this story, I had never really had a feeling for what happened there.  This little book provided that feeling.  Hellish is the only word that I can think of to describe what it must have been like. Gregg's descriptions of working with German rescue parties to pry open doors to buildings evoke the most horrifying images.  Dresden was a war crime, no doubt. And the Allies have to bear the shame of it. Good read. I recommend it. Especially amusing are Gregg's British-isms.
