Description

The months of 1944-45 on the Eastern Front were a period of unrelenting brutality, as the Soviet Army sought revenge for the atrocities committed by the Nazis. The conflict that ensued was marked by some of the most brutal battles of the Second World War, including the Soviet conquest of East and West Prussia. This book tells the story of the desperate struggle of soldiers and civilians alike, drawing on previously unseen testimony and astute strategic analysis to bring the events to life. The Soviet Army's campaign was driven by a desire for revenge, and the consequences were devastating. The book recounts the final surrender in the Vistula estuary, and the aftermath of the conflict, in chilling detail. The result is a vivid and unflinching account of a conflict of unprecedented horror and suffering. Hardcover edition (9781849081900)
