The pace never lets up in this epic story, with its vast canvasIt is vividly told and finely detailed … plunging the reader into the spectacular but horrifying vortex of Operation Barbarossa. * Iain Ballantyne, author of 'Arnhem: Ten Days in The Cauldron' *
Richard Hargreaves exhibits supreme skill at uncovering and synthesising obscure primary sources and contemporary reports to craft a visceral yet enthralling account of the opening stage of Barbarossa. * Jason D. Mark, author and editor *
Elegantly written, yet relentlessly searing in its content, Hargreaves’ new history of the opening phase of Operation Barbarossa, which weaves together grand strategy and heart-breaking personal testimony, sets a new benchmark for the subject. * Roger Moorhouse, author of 'Poland 1939' and 'Berlin at War' *
