Revised and updated to reflect recent Russian and Western scholarship on the subject, this new edition maintains the 1995 original's distinction as a crucial volume in the history of World War II and of the Soviet Union and the most informed and compelling perspective on one of the greatest military confrontations of all time.

In 1941, when Pearl Harbor shattered America's peacetime pretensions, the German blitzkrieg had already blasted the Red Army back to Moscow. Yet, less than four years later, the Soviet hammer-and-sickle flew above the ruins of Berlin, stark symbol of a miraculous comeback that destroyed the Germany Army and put an end to Hitler's imperial designs. Drawing on the massive and unprecedented release of Soviet archival documents, David Glantz and noted military historian Jonathan House expand and elaborate our picture of the Soviet war effort.

Rafts of newly available official directives, orders, and reports reveal the true nature and extraordinary scale of Soviet military operations as they swept across the 1,000 miles from Moscow to Berlin, featuring stubborn defenses and monumental offensives and counteroffensives and ultimately costing the two sides combined a staggering 20 million casualties.

The details presented are amazing. Narration is great as well. It is a classic and a must listen for anyone interested in the eastern front of ww2. Needs an accompanying pdf.

The authors did a great job in covering a topic as complex as this. Their military background was evident in their descriptions of the combatants organization, equipment and operational concepts. What this audio production lacked was an accompanying set of maps to graphically depict what the narrative explained. Incorporation of materials from Soviet archives provided a more balanced description than near post war western books. Some of the narrator’s pronunciations were unconventional but this did not detract from understanding what was said.

Great narrative on a complex subject.

I believe the narrator butchered every single German and Russian word. Like Panzerkampfwagen "V" one, instead of 6.

Good history lesson.
