Description
This guidebook for the Western reader portrays World War II as it was experienced and remembered by the Soviet people. The collapse of communism has meant that Soviet archives have finally opened. Using new research, a multi-disciplinary group of scholars examine previously undertreated aspects of the conflict, where the Wehrmacht suffered over 80 per cent of its total losses in men and material, in a war whose scope and ferocity has never been equalled. By the author of "Mikhail Chulkov", "Mikhail Lermontov", "The Eighteenth Century in Russia" (editor), "The Russian Novel from Pushkin to Pasternak"(editor) and "Inside the Soviet Writers' Union"
