Surviving Dresden beautifully portrays the poignant and inspiring human struggle between good and evil in the search for peace during the last bloody days of World War II. On the ground that horrific night is a courageous young Jewish woman, Gisela Kauffmann. Having just received orders to be herded off to a concentration camp, Gisela will do anything to save herself and her family. In the air, RAF bomber Captain Wallace Campbell is torn between his sworn military duty to bomb an unarmed city crowded with refugees, and his growing conviction that total war is immoral. Surviving Dresden is told through the eyes of Gisela, Wallace, and a compelling cast of characters--a story of personal pain and suffering amid the hope, even as the bombs are falling, of restoring human sanity to a world torn apart. Masterfully sweeping, Surviving Dresden explores the depths of human courage in facing life and death, with human redemption triumphing. "An evocative, inventive tale of war and moral judgment. Surviving Dresden vividly brings to life one of the most controversial episodes of the Second World War.


" --Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize winning author of the World War II Liberation Trilogy "An incredibly suspenseful, powerful story with a redemptive ending. Deserves a wide reading audience, even serious consideration for the big screen. Happy to offer my highest recommendation." --Frank Price, Former Chairman and CEO, Columbia Pictures, and Former President, Universal Pictures.
