Used good. Has a plastic cover.
Launched with an immense invasion force of three
million men, Germany's surprise attack on Russia in 1941
was planned by Hitler to crush the Soviets in eight
weeks. Instead, hampered by major strategic errors,
fanatical Soviet resistance and the severe Russian winter,
Operation Barbarossa' lingered on until, in 1943, the
German fighting machine finally broke down at
Stalingrad in one of the most shattering military defeats
of the century.
"Hitler Moves East' is the first part of an intended trilogy
(the second, 'Scorched Earth' is published with this
edition), and is an extraordinarily vivid reconstruction of
a struggle which, in the size of the forces involved and
the ferocity of the fighting, was unparalleled in the history
of War.
