New Introduction.

In light of the fact my old essay is jumbled and confusing. I am rewriting the vast majority to fit a much more linear argument, So here is it's introduction. 

      David Irving's book, The Destruction of Dresden, is the quite easily the most influential piece of literature on what is now the most controversial topic of the Second World War. Every piece of history in relation to the subject of the Dresden raids after his book is either a reaction to his book or misguidedly furthering his claims. Four key areas can be identified as been affected by Irving's work; the contextual view of the raid, the legitimacy of Dresden as a target, the legitimacy of the method which the city was bombed and casualty figures of the raid.
