The Second World War on the Eastern Front

"Russia's engagement with Germany on the Eastern Front during World War II was ferocious, unprecedented and bloody, costing millions of civilian and military lives. In this challenging new book, Lee Baker distinguishes myth from reality and deflates the idea that this war, while gargantuan in scale, was in essence a war like any other. Following an introduction that considers historiographical approaches to the conflict, the author examines the reasons behind Germany's decision to fight a war on two fronts and the initial inadequacy of the Soviet defence, analyzes the major battles and questions whether there was a definitive moment at which the war turned against Germany, and looks at the role of resistance movements and considers key issues such as the relationship between the war and the Holocaust"--Page 4 of cover.
