A propos de cet article

(Subject: World War II - Eastern Front) In this authoritative account of the critical turning points of the Russian campaign the authors present the German and Soviet forces initial confrontation on the approaches to Moscow, Leningrad, and Rostov. The late-1941 battles produced the first major German setbacks of the war and gave the Soviet troops their first tastes of success, but later, the pendulum swung to the German side, as, during the summer of 1942, their armies raced across the Ukraine and into the Caucasus. The book covers operations from the defeat at the gates of Moscow to the surrender of the 6th Army at Stalingrad and includes the campaign to take Crimea and Sebastopol, the beginnings of the partisan movement, the campaign into the Kuban and Caucasus and the prolonged battle for Stalingrad itself.

Présentation de l'éditeur

“Moscow to Stalingrad: Decision in the East” is the second to be completed in a projected three-volume history of the German-Soviet conflict in World War II. The first, “Stalingrad to Berlin: The German Defeat in the East”, covered the Soviet Army's liberation of its own territory and its drive across central and southeastern Europe. In the present volume, the German and Soviet forces initially confront each other on the approaches to Moscow, Leningrad, and Rostov in the late-1941 battles that produced the first major German setbacks of the war and gave the Soviet troops their first tastes of success. Later, the pendulum swings to the Germans' side, and their armies race across the Ukraine and into the Caucasus during the summer of 1942. In the course of a year, the Soviet Command goes from offensive to defensive and, finally, at Stalingrad, decisively to the offensive- meanwhile, frequently in desperate circumstances, building the strength and proficiency mat will enable it to mount the relentless thrusts of the succeeding years. In tracing the shifting Soviet and German fortunes, the author has had full access to the German military records, most of which fell into American and British hands. He has also made extensive use of the Soviet war histories, memoirs, and periodical literature. The result is both a panorama of battles, among them some of the greatest in the history of warfare, and an inquiry into the forces in war that shape and test the military power of nations.
