A stunning and moving history of Dresden and its environs. Experts from the fields of history, politics, literature, the arts, and defense contributed to the book, which tells the history of Dresden from its foundation in the early thirteenth century through the controversial fire bombing in World War II to the end of communist rule in Germany and the renaissance it is now undergoing. The book has been produced on behalf of the Dresden Trust, which was founded in Britain in 1993 as a citizens' initiative to highlight Britain's rich, varied, and enduring links with Dresden and Saxony and to raise money for the rebuilding of the city, in particular the Frauenkirche. The book is illustrated by photographs, maps, and drawings. A share of the profits from the sale of the book will go to the Dresden Trust.
