Before Stalingrad: Barbarossa--Hitler's Invasion of Russia 1941 (Battles & Campaigns)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The definitive history of Hitler’s infamous attempt to conquer Russia.
From the Publisher
Operation Barbarossa—as this campaign is famously called—was arguably the greatest land campaign mankind has ever fought. Hitler named his assault after the twelfth–century Frederick I Barbarossa, an emperor of the First Reich. Although he succeeded in capturing almost 40 per cent of European Russia, Hitler was defeated there. Exploiting newly available Soviet archives, David M Glantz challenges the time–honored explanation that poor weather, bad terrain and Hitler’s faulty strategic judgement produced the German defeat. He reveals how and why the Red Army thwarted Hitler’s seemingly inexorable progress.
Part of the Battles and Campaigns series, edited by Hew Strachan, Chichele Professor of the History of War at the University of Oxford.
David M Glantz is one of the world’s leading experts on World War II’s Eastern Front. He lives in Pennsylvania.
