From the creators of THE NIGHTINGALE, an exquisite edition of another Hans Christian Andersen classic tale of dark adventure

"Left, right! Left, right!" A soldier is marching home from war when he meets a witch who says, "What a fine sword you have, and what a big knapsack! Now I’ll show you how to get as much money as you want." Fortune is fleeting for the soldier until he learns the secret of the witch’s tinderbox and her three eerie dogs, each with eyes bigger than the last. With each strike of the flint, a dog materializes to grant him his wish, and the soldier doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of this gift — at a high cost to the kingdom. Spun with wit and clarity, Stephen Mitchell’s wonderfully fresh retelling is paired with Bagram Ibatoulline’s richly detailed illustrations, creating a stunning collectible edition..

In this compelling narrative, Alexander McKee examines motive, morality, and responsibility in the horrible Allied raid on Dresden, Germany Undefended and without strategic significance, this historic city sheltered a million people, half of them refugees. On Feb. 13-15, 1945, 1,300 British & American aircrafts dropped 5000 tons of incendiary and high-explosive bombs, destroying Dresden and causing a 3000F firestorm. Between 35,000 & 100,000 people died, among them American, British, & Russian prisoners of war. Survivors' accounts capture the hope and courage that transcended the horror of the raid. In analyzing the rationale & planning behind the raid, McKee dissects the leadership egos, command rivalries, & hidden agendas that insidiously promoted terror bombing as a British policy - a policy later shared by her American ally. And in demonstrating that the Dresden raid's permanent moral cost greatly exceeded its temporary military benefits, he gives contemporary military strategists powerful reasons for restraint..
