Russia`s War 1941-1945

“In Russia`s War”, Richard Overy re-creates the Soviet Union`s apocalyptic struggle against Germany from the point of view both of the troops and of the ordinary civilians.In the course of human history there has probably been no more terrible place than Eastern Europe in 1941-5. Estimates of total Soviet military and civilian deaths in the period now stand at more than 25 million. For many around the world, it was Russia`s persistance and steadfast will during this time that gave the Allies the foothold to win the war; whilst Operation Barbarossa was failing against the Russians, the Allies were able to re-group, re-arm and fight back.This is an enthralling account of the Soviet side of the war and is highly recommended.
