Are there any other fiction books on the Bombing of Dresden besides Slaughterhouse-5? I've been looking for one from the British perspective or really any other perspective besides Vonnegut but haven't had much luck...

/pol/tards on this site will make the argument that war is necessary and just, trying to conjure up this image of brave soldiers and knights or whatever charging off to battle, but in reality very few of them actually understand, or have the empathy to understand, that war is just a gross exercise in brutality carried out by the super rich via the super gullible. Most the people who die in these wars are young, brainwashed kids who have no real idea of what it means to die until they are moments away from realizing they are about to be erased from existence. Americans are the worst because we are literally bombarded from birth with all kinds of pro-war propaganda. Kurt offers a great perspective on WWII because it's the perspective of the people who are actually coerced into these pretty much meaningless conflicts. War isn't a necessary evil, it's just evil, but will always be around as long as powerful sadist can convince poor idiots to kill, and die at the hand of, people they wouldn't have any beef with otherwise.
