His works include The Destruction of Dresden (1963), Hitler's War (1977), Churchill's War (1987) and Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich (1996).
In his works, he argued that Adolf Hitler did not know of the extermination of Jews or, if he did, opposed it.[2] His works were never taken seriously by mainstream historians.
