In this volume of John Erickson's history of the grueling Soviet-German war of 1941-1945, the author takes us from the pre-invasion Soviet Union, with its inept command structures and strategic delusions, to the humiliating retreats of Soviet armies before the Barbarossa onslaught, to the climactic, grinding battle for Stalingrad that left the Red Army poised for its majestic counteroffensive.
First sentence: In the winter of 1935, Marshal of the Soviet Union M.N. Tukhachevskii, First Deputy Commissar for Defence, Chief of Red Army Ordnance and potential commander-in-chief in the event of war, presented his own proposals for a special war-game to the General Staff.
