Surviving Dresden: A Novel about Life, Death, and Redemption in World War II

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
