Description
The Red Army and the Second World War by Alexander Hill provides a comprehensive account of the Soviet Union's role in World War II. From the industrialisation of the Soviet Union in the late 1920s to the end of the Great Patriotic War in May 1945, Hill explores the development, successes and failures of the Red Army. Drawing on archival research and eyewitness testimony, this book presents a detailed analysis of the military strategy and operations of the Red Army. It reveals how the Soviet Union triumphed over Nazi Germany and its allies on the Eastern Front, at great cost to human life and resources. By examining the broader context of national mobilisation on a massive scale, Hill sheds new light on the origins and course of the war from the perspective of this key Allied power.
