Description
The Bloodiest War in History: Barbarossa On June 22nd, 1941, Nazi Germany launched the largest military invasion in human history, Operation Barbarossa, which would become the bloodiest war in history. This devastating conflict resulted in over forty million deaths and left an indelible mark on the world. Stewart Binns draws on remarkable and previously unseen material to tell the story of this horrific event from a unique perspective. He presents a panoramic view of the war, combining sweeping accounts of tactical manoeuvres with harrowing personal stories of civilian hardship and bravery. By examining the experiences of those who suffered in the 'War of Annihilation', Binns sheds new light on one of the darkest moments in history. A masterful narrative that is deeply enriched by extraordinary research, this book offers a profound analysis of the soul of Russia and its people during this terrible conflict.
