Overview

On June 22, 1941, before dawn, 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 victorious Red Army has suffered a loss of seven million lives. Alan Clark's incisive analysis succeeds in explaining how a fighting force that in one two-month period lost two million men was nevertheless able to rally to defeat the Wehrmacht.

Overview

On June 22, 1941, before dawn, 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 victorious Red Army has suffered a loss of seven million lives. Alan Clark's incisive analysis succeeds in explaining how a fighting force that in one two-month period lost two million men was nevertheless able to rally to defeat the Wehrmacht. The Barbarossa campaign included some of the greatest episodes in military history: the futile attack on Moscow in the winter of 1941-42, the siege of Stalingrad, the great Russian offensive beginning in 1944 that would lead the Red Army to the historic meeting with the Americans at the Elbe and on to victory in Berlin.

Barbarossa is a classic of miltary history. This paperback edition contains a new preface by the author.

A vivid history of one of the most brutal campaigns in military history, in which the victor, the Red Army lost seven million lives.

    The Definitive Narrative on this Subject Matter

    This is the most well-written and absorbing book that I have ever read on the subject of the war between Russia and Germany during World War 2. A must-read for anyone who is interested in this subject.

    A fine piece of work

    This work provided a very readable and comprehensive basis upon which to become familiar with the Eastern Front of the war. It has piqued my interest and compelled me to learn more about Stalingrad, Zukhov, Kursk and the battle for Moscow. Recommended as an initial work for those interested in the German/Russian war.

    Magnificent

    A. Clark's Barbarossa: The Russian-German Conflict, 1941-45 is a magnificent, compelling account of the entire Eastern Front of World War II.

    The writing is superb, the descriptions so detailed the reader can easily visualize the events. This is no small accomplishment when considering the extent of that theater of operations and the unfamiliarity of most western readers with the geography of the region. Excellent maps and illustrations compliment the work, and personally I found it quite difficult to put the book down at times. The writing is almost like that of an adventure novel based purely on well-researched facts.

    This is how military history should be written!
