Description

The Red Army's Miraculous Comeback: A New Perspective on World War II's Eastern Front When Titans Clashed, the 1995 original, revolutionized our understanding of World War II on Germany's Eastern Front with its concise and readable account of the Soviet Union's clash with Nazi Germany. This revised and expanded edition, updated with recent Russian and Western scholarship, maintains its distinction as a crucial volume in the history of World War II and the Soviet Union. Drawing on a wealth of new archival documents, David Glantz and Jonathan House provide a fresh and compelling perspective on the epic struggle between the Soviet hammer-and-sickle and the German blitzkrieg. From the Soviet perspective, this book offers a sharply different picture of the war effort, one that challenges the conventional narrative of Hitler's failed leadership and emphasizes the Soviet strategy and might. With swift and stirring prose, When Titans Clashed provides the clearest and most complete account of this pivotal moment in history, shedding new light on the Soviet Union's remarkable turnaround and its profound impact on the outcome of the war.
