by Frederick Taylor
From the rear cover
Praise for Frederick Taylor and his previous books:
Coventry:
Frederick Taylor's impressive book is easily the most authoritative study available of the devastation of Coventry 75 years ago...[A] gripping account of the background to the raid and the destruction of the city.
- Sir Ian Kershaw
The Downfall of Money:
[Taylor] skillfully weav[es] together economic history with political narrative and draw[s] on sources from everyday life as well as the inner cabinet of diplomacy...[A] dramatic story, well told.
- Adam Tooze, Wall Street Journal
Exorcising Hitler:
Taylor is a great storyteller...[This] is popular history at its best, essential reading for anyone who is interested in the Nazis and wants to know what happened next.
- Richard J. Evans, New Statesman
The Berlin Wall:
[An] excellent history...[A] story with odd twists and hidden secrets, many only recently revealed, some that have been forgotten and are worth repeating.
- Anne Appelbaum, Washington Post
Dresden:
[A] gripping, impassioned history of the cold war's most malevolent symbol.
- William Grimes, New York Times
