Barbarossa by Clark
Early in the morning of June 22, 1941, German tanks and guns began firing across the Russian border. It was the beginning of Hitler's Operation Barbarossa, one of the most brutal campaigns in the history of warfare. Four years later, the Russian Army was victorious, but at the cost of seven million lives.
Alan Clark's incisive analysis of this deadly conflict explains how a fighting force that in one two-month period lost two million men was nevertheless able to defeat the Wehrmacht. From the futile attack on Moscow in the winter of 1941-42, to the siege of Stalingrad, to the Russian offensive beginning in 1944 that would ultimately lead to Allied victory in Berlin, Barbarossa is a classic of military history. Alan Clark (1928 - 1999) was a noted military historian whose books include The Donkeys: A Study of the BEF in 1915 and The Fall of Crete. He entered politics in 1972, and was Secretary of State in Margaret Thatcher's cabinet. "Barbarossa will, I am confident, take its place among the classics of world war literature." -- Henry Steele Commager| SKU | Unavailable |
