Description

Stalin's Revenge: Operation Bagration and the Annihilation of Army Group Centre is a detailed study of one of the largest offensives in military history. In the summer of 1944, the Red Army crushed Army Group Centre, marking a significant turning point on the Eastern Front. The operation was Stalin's response to Hitler's invasion three years earlier, and it paved the way for the Soviet Union's ultimate victory. Anthony Tucker-Jones examines the planning and decision-making at the highest level, as well as the experience of soldiers on the battlefield, using graphic contemporary accounts. He also sets the Bagration offensive in the wider context of the Soviet war effort. The book provides a valuable insight into this complex battle, assessing the opposing forces and their commanders, and exploring why Stalin's road to retribution proved so long and bloody for the Germans.
