Thunder in the East : The Nazi-Soviet War 1941-1945 Hardback
by Evan (University of Glasgow, UK) Mawdsley
Part of the Modern Wars series
Hardback
Description
The battles in Russia played the decisive part in Hitler's defeat.
Gigantic, prolonged, and bloody, they contrasted with the general nature of the fighting on other fronts.
The Russians fought on their own in "their" theater of war and with an indepedent strategy.
Stalinist Russia was a country radically different from its liberal democratic allies.
Hitler and the German high command, for their part, conceived and carried out the Russian campaign as a singular "war of annihilation." This riveting new book is a penetrating, broad-ranging, yet concise overview of this vast conflict.
It investigates the Wehrmacht and the Red Army and the command and production systems that organized and sustained them.
It considers a range of further themes concerning this most political of wars.
Benefiting from a post-Communist, post-Cold War perspective, the book takes advantage of a wealth of new studies and source material that have become available over the last decade.
Readers from history buffs to scholars will find something new in this exciting new book.
